From the organizers of the workshop:

The Workshop on Locality and Directionality at the Morphosyntax-Phonology Interface will be held on October 12 – 14, 2012 at CSLI (Cordura Hall, Stanford). This event will feature fourteen talks and a poster session, and we hope that you will come!

The workshop is free and open to all (thanks to generous funding from NSF, Stanford’s School of Humanities and Sciences, and the Stanford Linguistics Department), but we do request that you please register in advance (within the next week). You can learn more about the workshop and see the program on the conference website.

This workshop is a part of an on-going collaborative research group between UCSC and Stanford, Crosslinguistic Investigations in Syntax-Phonology (CrISP). We meet regularly throughout the year for in-house talks, invited speaker visits, and paper discussions, and if you’d like to join the CrISP mailing list, please contact Vera Gribanova (gribanov@stanford.edu).
