General Meeting - Let's Get Small Presentations

Linguistics Friday, December 10, 2021 3:00 pm - 4:30 pm Marie Mount Hall, 1108B

Friday December 10 at the General Meeting, the students in Omer, Ellen and Alexander's seminar this semester ("Let's Get Small") will briefly present a high-level overview of the project they’re preparing, to exercise their understanding of the issues that we covered, with respect to a topic that interests them.

The members of the seminar have been wrestling with foundational questions about the minimal units of the linguistic system, the nature of the stored mappings from meaning to syntax to form, their acquisition, and the nature of the production and comprehension processes that call on them. Each has, in one way or another, been led to conceptualize parts of the problem completely differently than we did before. The plan is to share some of that perspective with a broader group. And our hope is, this will be a good way to raise some of these issues for broader discussion across the department, and for the students to get feedback on their multidisciplinary investigations from a broader group.
