LSA 2007

Posted 30 July 2007

I just returned from the 2007 Linguistic Society of America Summer Institute, held at Stanford University, which ran from 1-27 July. I had the good fortune to take the following classes:

  • Presession (1-3 July):
    • LSA.111P Statistics for Linguists A
    • LSA.110P Python Programming for Linguists
    • LSA.104P Introduction to HPSG
  • Regular Session (5-27 July)
    • LSA.356 The Amphichronic Program
    • LSA.347 Rethinking Linguistic Competence
    • LSA.360 The Phonological Status of Morphologically Complex Words
    • LSA.314 Dimensions of Meaning

In addition, I TA'ed and helped out around the place, including working as the assistant for a weekend workshop entitled "The 2nd Workshop on Computational Approaches to Arabic Script-based Languages," held 21-22.
