Utku and the Terps at the Human Sentence Processing Conference.

March 9-11, the Iron City of Pittsburgh hosts the Human Sentence Processing conference, formerly CUNY, with over 30 presentations by Maryland psycholinguists, present and past, including a talk by first-year PhD student Utku Turk, and posters involving Masata Nakamura, Eunkyoung Rosa Lee, Imane Bou-Saboun, Sathvik Nair, Katherine Howitt, London Dixon and undergraduate major Xiaoyu Yang.
