LSA Summer Institute: The Beginning
Holy linguistics, Batman! (ok, I'll stop with the theme now ...)
Anyway, today was check-in for the Linguistics Society of America Summer Institute - yay.
My schedule (with professors' names if I remember them offhand):
Session 1:
(starts 27 June)
MW
8:15-9:55 am: LSA 309 - Introduction to Syntax
TTh
1:00-2:40 pm: LSA 142 - Introduction to the Phonetics and Phonology of Sign Languages (Mathur/Rathmann)
2:55-4:35 pm: LSA 122 - Second Language Acquisition
4:50-6:30 pm: LSA 106 - The Ecology of Language Evolution (Mufwene)
Session 2:
(starts 18 July)
MW
8:15-9:55 am: LSA 309 - Introduction to Syntax
2:55-4:35 pm: LSA 223 - "Creolization" is acquisition (Chaudenson)
TTh
10:10-11:50 am: LSA.240 - Introduction to the Morphology and Syntax of Sign Languages (Mathur/Rathmann)
4:50-6:30 pm: LSA 210 - Linguistics K through 12
Ran into Joseph Hill (Gallaudet), Jillian Mills (lately of McGill, now MIT), Heather Burnett (Queen's/UdeM), and of course a gaggle of Harvard people; Jillian, Heather, and I went to Toscanini's for iced caffeinated beverages and Montreal-related chitchat. A good time was had.
On that note, is anyone up for another linguistics bloggers' dinner/get-together? I enjoyed the dinner at LSA-Oakland this year, and it seems that there are enough of us in town this summer to pull off a repeat. (For example, Bridget Samuels from ilani ilani; Angelo Mercado of Sauvage Noble; and LanguageLog contributors Adam Albright, David Beaver, Dan Jurafsky, and Norma Mendoza-Denton.)
