We are pleased to announce that our department chair, György Rákosi, has been awarded the prestigious Bolyai Fellowship by the Hungarian Academy of Sciences. As a Bolyai fellow, György will be working on the grammar of anaphora in Hungarian. More specifically, his main goal will be to examine how the grammatical properties of reflexives are different from those of reciprocals.
