Hi. Here’s a short FAQ:

Who are you?
I’m an associate professor of linguistics at the University of British Columbia working on semantics and the syntax-semantics interface.
How can I contact you?
marcin.morzycki@ubc.ca
How can I talk to you directly?
If you’re in a class I’m teaching, my current office hours are on the Canvas site and and on the syllabus. If you’re not, don’t hesitate to email me to set up a Zoom appointment or an in-person one at Totem Fields Studios 226.
How do I pronounce your name?
In IPA, it’s [ˈmɑɹsɪnmɔɹˈzɪki]. This is Anglicized Polish. People who know anything about Polish understandably find it appalling. The non-Anglicized version is [ˈmart͡ɕinmɔˈʐɨt͡ski], but only Polish speakers call me that. (If you can’t read IPA, you should take a linguistics course. If you just see a series of boxes due to font problems, don’t assume my name is pronounced as a series of boxes.)
