Hi everyone. I’ve read through everyone’s papers and posted the grades for the course to the Link. I will be sending you the comments I had on your papers within a couple of days. Thanks for an interesting semester! As you could no doubt tell, you were sort of the “guinea pigs” for this course, …

Having seen a tip to the existence of this on the Language Log, I searched for and found a small bit of a standup routine performed by Alexandra McHale that addresses this SALAD-salad thing. It’s, you know, a standup routine (aired on Comedy Central). The relevant bit is at the very end.
Hi everyone. I promised to provide some project examples but I’ve had no time to sit and think so far, mainly due to the NELS conference that is going on this weekend at MIT. I am still going to try to get something worked up and posted by tonight if I can. However, in the …
Due to a faculty meeting, I have to move my office hours earlier this coming Wednesday (Oct 21). They will be from 3-4pm (rather than the usual 4-5pm).
Come one! Come all! Find out more about the major and minor in linguistics, as well as academic programs in French, Spanish, and Italian language and literature.
