ANOTHER SUCCESSFUL LURC

The Linguistics Undergraduate Research Conference — or LURC — took place last Wednesday (June 1) and was a huge success! Organized by Undergraduate Director Grant McGuire, it featured talks by five undergraduates on topics in phonology and syntax, which drew on data from English, Muyang, and Spanish. The Distinguished Alumnus Address was given by Shayne Sloggett (BA, 2010), currently a graduate student at UMass Amherst, on “Do comprehenders violate binding theory? Depends on your point of view.”
