LINGUISTICS AT SANTA CRUZ: THEORY AND PRACTICE

As part of the 50th Anniversary Celebration of UC Santa Cruz, the Department will host a day-long symposium entitled Linguistics@Santa Cruz: Theory and Practice on Saturday April 4th in the Stevenson Fireside Lounge, beginning at 11:00am. There will be talks, discussions, photographs, and interactive demonstrations illustrating the history and current directions of linguistics at UCSC. Discussion will focus particularly on the Department’s past and present research on endangered languages and linguistic theory, new experimental methodologies, and linguistic training as a bridge to careers in language technology. The event will feature talks by Judith Aissen, Amy Rose Deal, Maziar Toosarvandani, Junko Ito, Grant McGuire, and Matt Wagers along with many excruciatingly embarrassing photographs of the `good old days’.
