UMass Amherst Psycholinguistics Experiment Co-op
Meg Grant has announced a new Psycholinguistics Experiment Cooperative:
This will be a group of experimenters who get together to run experiments in South College. Pooling our efforts will allow us to share the work of running the experiments and will also help us to have a diverse set of materials in each experiment. Our first goal is to run a questionnaire later this fall, but I'm hoping this will be an ongoing thing where we can run different kinds of experiments (e.g., self-paced reading or RSVP tasks).
Contact Meg if you'd like more details.
[Thanks Meg!]

Ellen Woolford in Brazil
Ellen Woolford has just returned from Belo Horizonte, Brazil where she gave a week long course in connection with a workshop on Ergativity and Case Theory at UFMG, Oct 20-24. She had the opportunity to consult with graduate students working on five different indigenous languages of Brazil, and to participate in elicitation sessions with a native speaker of Terena (an Arawakan language). There are plans for an ongoing collaboration with Fábio Bonfim Duarte, faculty at UFMG, coordinator of a project on the indigenous languages of Brazil.
