FOLEY AT CLS

This past weekend (April 21-23), graduate student Steven Foley attended the 52nd Annual Meeting of the Chicago Linguistic Society. Upon his return, Steven had this to report:

I gave a talk on my QP research titled “Morphological conspiracies and the nature of Vocabulary Insertion.” I got some helpful and positive feedback from audience members, including UCSC alum Jason Merchant. But probably what I was most proud of was tricking people into thinking my all-Microsoft Word handout was made with LaTeX. All in all it was a fun and rewarding weekend — spring was springing in Chicago, I saw some old friends, rubbed elbows with fancy linguists, and even saw Haj Ross singing karaoke at the conference banquet.
