Week of January 30, 2012 (Johnsen in Press, Mateo Pedro wins award, Bjorkman on campus)

Hello Linguists,

We hope your semester is off to a great start! We have some exciting news and events to report, but first, a little housekeeping. Our apologies for the late post, we encountered some technical difficulties earlier in the week. Second, a number of people have requested that we allow people to subscribe to our blog. We think this is a great idea, but at this time, its unfortunately not possible. So thanks for continuing to check back! On with it then... 

Congratulations to Sverre Strausland Johnsen whose article "From perception to phonology: The emergence of perceptually motivated constraint rankings" appeared in the most recent issue of Lingua.

Congratulations also to Pedro Mateo Pedro, post-doctoral fellow in the Polinsky Lab, who has recently won a FAS Postdoctoral Award for Professional Development.

We hope to see you at this week's linguistics events (more below).

All the best,

Your Bloglings

This week at Harvard... 

On Friday, February 3, 4:00 in Boylston 103, Bronwyn Bjorkman will talk to us about “Marking time: Predictions of markedness in verbal inflection.”
