Summary
On 9 September 2019, a small symposium was held at the British Academy in London in honour of Professor Richard Hudson’s eightieth birthday. The presenters included former students, colleagues and collaborators of Hudson’s as well other figures from the world of linguistics. The themes of the symposium were led by the ideas that Hudson has championed and developed in his own writing, in particular the notion that language is represented in a single cognitive network, seamlessly integrated with the rest of cognition.
