The Student Workshop is now scheduled for Friday, March 11th. Additionally, abstract submission has been extended until Thursday, February 17th.
So if you didn’t get your abstract in, you now have a second chance.
Abstracts are still 1-2 pages (around 500words) including data and figures, which can be interspersed throughout the text.
Submit abstracts to Ellen here.
The date of the student workshop is still in discussion, but if you’re interested in presenting the deadline for submitting abstracts is this coming Thursday, Feb 3rd. If you’d like to present be sure to send your abstract in by the deadline.
This year the workshop is being held jointly between the Linguistics department and Philosophy department. This will be a venue to mingle and present your work for feedback from a friendly and interdisciplinary audience. Abstracts of language-oriented papers/posters are invited from students and faculty of all related disciplines.
Abstracts should be 1-2 pages long (about 500 words) including data, which can be interspersed throughout the text.
If you want to present submit as either a pdf or doc here asap.
The student workshop is confirmed for Thursday the 6th of May. This year it’s being held in conjunction with UCLA, and is always a great place to present new work, get good feedback on old work or practice for upcoming conference talks.
Abstract submission is still open, send your abstracts here asap if you’d like to present.
The next GSIL meeting will be held this Thursday in the conference room at 5pm.
Currently on the agenda are the elections for the new officers for next year. Any nominations or additional agenda items should be sent here by 4pm Wednesday (that’s tomorrow).
As per normal there will be food.
Those of us who are currently living under rocks might be interested to know that the annual open house for prospective students is next week, with events starting on Tuesday, March 9th.
You can find the schedule here, and if you’ve got a bit of spare time and/or a car you can sign up for the few remaining airport pickups/dropoffs, or just volunteer to help out.
As you hopefully already know we are hosting the 28th West Coast Conference on Formal Linguistics, which kicks off tomorrow with opening remarks in MHP101 at 8:50 tomorrow morning.
If you haven’t already registered, registration is $25 for students, $50 for non-students. Regardless of whether you pre-registered or not, you should stop by the registration desk in MHP tomorrow morning to pick up your conference materials (and register, of course, if you haven’t already).
The full program and further information can be found here. It looks to be a pretty exciting conference.
The next GSIL meeting is scheduled for this coming Thursday (February 11th) at 5:30 I. The department conference room.
Food will be provided, we look forward to seeing you there.
The Spring semester has officially begun (as of Monday actually). Welcome back to everyone, here’s to a productive semester.
It has been pointed out that this site has had a dearth of updates, so any news or info that might be useful to people should be sent to me and I’ll post them as they come. Additionally, the student list is in need of updating. Given university changes I’m considering just sending the student list to redirect to the department page (which is also a bit funky), but would like to hear what people think.
You can comment on posts now, by the way. The link is in the upper left corner of the post (which typically says “No Comments”). You’ll need to register and log in to comment, this is annoying but necessary to prevent the bot-hordes of the interwebs from invading.
