Summer Workshops

We successfully hosted two workshops in the past couple of weeks. The first workshop was the CRC-sponsored Summer Phonetics/Phonology Workshop, which included talks on topics in Korean, Cape Breton English, Cuban Spanish, Dholuo, Mandarin Chinese, and other languages. The workshop also featured a special session on "Directions in Teaching Undergraduate Phonology", which prompted interesting discussions.

The second workshop was the Lexicon-Syntax Interface Workshop, which included talks on topics in Amharic, Russian, Modern Hebrew, Malagasy, German, and other languages. The keynote speaker of the workshop was Tova Rapoport of Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, Israel, who gave a talk entitled "Focussing Manner and Result".

A big thank-you to the organizing committees of these workshops for all their hard work!
