PHRENDLY NEWS

On Saturday Sept. 24, the Department hosted the first meeting of PHREND (Phonology/Phonetics Research Weekend), an informal phonology/phonetics workshop of the three departments in the Bay Area (Berkeley, Santa Cruz, and Stanford). PHREND 1 was very well attended, with 12 participants from Berkeley, 3 from Stanford, 20 Santa Cruzers, and alum Eric Bakovic from UC San Diego as a surprise visitor. The meeting was an all-around success thanks to a series of fascinating papers, including ones by our own Grant McGuire and grad students Jeff Adler and Nick Kalivoda. Thanks to Nick for the superb organization as well. Stay tuned for Berkeley’s PHREND 2 in Spring 2017!
