Seven presentations on language acquisition and processing, plus more from alumni.
March 4-6, the University of Pennsylvania hosts the 34 Annual CUNY Conference on Human Sentence Processing, with an invited talk from Jeff Lidz; long talks by Tyler and undergrad Cassidy Wyatt; short talks from Masato, Rosa, Zoe Ovans, and Cassidy again, with former RA Maggie Kandel, alongside faculty collaborators Colin Phillips, Jeff Lidz, Yi Ting Huang and Jared Novick; plus much more from our illustrious alumni, including undergraduate alums Morgan Moyer and Jon Burnsky; PhD alums Julie Gerard, Jeff Green, Allyson Ettinger, Shota Momma, Dave Kush, Brian Dillon, Matt Wagers, Masaya Yoshida and Phil Monahan; postdoc Ming Xiang; and several past visitors, including Iria de Dios Flores, Alex de Carvalho, Lyn Tieu and Matt Husband.
