Month: June 2019

On Friday, May 31, the Department of Linguistics hosted its annual Linguistics Undergraduate Research Conference, which saw talks from Madeleine King and Koy Rugama, Max Tarlov, Melanie Gounas, and Jared Crawford-Levis, as well as distinguished alum Marcin Morzycki. Each talk was followed by a spirited and positive question-and-answer period, and the event itself was followed by a reception, hosted by Junko Ito and Armin Mester.

On Friday, May 31, visiting professor Gorka Elordieta (University of the Basque Country) gave an invited talk at Stanford University’s P-interest workshop entitled, “On the phrasal dependency of unaccented words in Basque.”
