ETI 3 in MONTREAL

ETI (Exploring the Interfaces) 3,which took place at McGill University in Montreal between May 8th and May 10th, became something of a Santa Cruz reunion. This was the last in a sequence of three workshops organized by the McGill Syntactic Interfaces Research Group, all of which were devoted to the interfaces between syntax and other aspects of linguistic ability. The theme of ETI 3 was Prosody and Constituent Structure, with a special focus on verb-initial languages. Among the invited speakers were Judith Aissen, Jim McCloskey, and Joey Sabbagh (BA 2005). Emily Manetta of the University of Vermont presented at the conference, and Ryan Bennett of Yale and Robert Henderson of Wayne State University were also in the thick of things. There’s a picture here. Ryan was himself fresh from the experience of organizing the Workshop on the Sound Systems of Mexico and Central America at Yale in the first week of April. The program for ETI 3 is here and all of the abstracts are available here.
