ITO AND MESTER IN BARCELONA

Junko Ito and Armin Mester presented a colloquium on syntax-prosody matters at UAB (Universitat Autònoma Barcelona), and went on to give a keynote address at RecPhon2019, also at UAB. This workshop dealt with recursivity in phonology above and below the word. It was great to connect with a whole group of former LRC visitors: Emily Elfner (York University), Violeta Martínez-Patricio (Universidad Complutense de Madrid), and Gorka Elordieta (University of the Basque Country).

After the workshop, it was a special pleasure to spend an afternoon in the Old City with alumna Louise McNally, now a professor at Pompeu Fabre University (pictured below dining at La mar Salada in the Barceloneta).
