Lab goes to GLOW in Asia IX!

Dan Michel and Grant Goodall's presentation on "Finiteness and the nature of island constraints" was part of the Workshop on Experimental Linguistics at the GLOW in Asia IX conference, held at Mie University, Japan, Sept. 3-6, 2012.

Participants came from all over Asia, Europe and the Americas to hear about finiteness and the nature of island constraints (among other things).
