"Prosody and the that-trace effect: An experimental study"

at the West Coast Conference on Formal Linguistics, at Simon Fraser University in Vancouver. This was a joint paper with Marc Garellek and Grant Goodall and will be appearing in the proceedings.

Spring '15

Because Grant is leading a seminar this quarter (Spring 2015) on "Grammatical and processing factors in sentence acceptability", where we will be reading and discussing all sorts of fascinating papers on this topic, we will not be having regular lab meetings this quarter. The schedule for the seminar is available at https://sites.google.com/a/socsci.ucsd.edu/lign225s15/. All are welcome!
