News and Events
Speakers for Spring 2008:
The Language and Linguistics Speaker Series is a series of
invited talks, organized each semester by the faculty in the Brandeis
Department of Language and Linguistics. We invite professors from various
subfields and various universities to speak about their current research. All
talks are geared towards undergraduate and graduate
students with interests in language and linguistics, and are open to the
greater Boston
area linguistics community.
All talks are listed in reverse chronological order,
latest first.
Please note that the following speakers: Edward Loper,
Tejaswini Deoskar, Nianwen Xue, Thomas McFadden
and Hans Boas are all candidates for an open position in the new
Computational Linguistics Program. Student feedback is an important part of
the process of hiring a new professor, and we encourage any students who are
available at the times of the talks to attend.
