Yale to host SYNC in December

The 2017 Stony Brook–Yale–NYU–CUNY conference will be held at Yale’s Dunham Laboratory.

Jim Wood, Matt Barros, and Matt Tyler presented two talks and a poster.

Scholars from a wide range of institutions and disciplines came to Yale to discuss the cognitive foundations of variation and change in meaning.

Claire spoke about how she applies methods from computational phylogenetics to study the history of the Pama-Nyungan languages.

Luke spent the summer at the University of Texas at Austin, working on the Texas German Dialect Project.

The lecture is given each year by a Dartmouth alum who is currently engaged in linguistics research or related work.

Results on TAG parsing and finite-state Optimality Theory were presented at TAG+, FSMNLP, and EMNLP.

Yale-affiliated linguists showcased seven different presentations—more than any other university.

As a member of the Department of World Languages and Literatures, Rashad will be teaching the university’s only linguistics course.

We are delighted to welcome Samuel Andersson, Sigríður Sigurðardóttir, and Randi Martinez to our department!
