Next week's WHISC will be the final one of this academic year. For the summer, we'll move to a monthly schedule, publishing on the final Thursday of the month for June through August. We'll return to our weekly schedule on September 6.
It would be great to go out with a bang. So if you have exciting summer plans, please send Chris the details so that we can report on them next week.
John Kingston will speak at the University of Oregon tomorrow (May 25). His talk is called 'Phonological persistence/Phonetic variability'. It deals with a puzzle arising in the genesis and subsequent development of tone in the Athabaskan languages and what that means for our understanding to interaction between phonetics and phonology in sound change.
PhG will rage on through the summer months, with a few things already tentatively planned. We'll have more details next week.
