Kingston and Viswanathan in Phonology Group
John Kingston and Navin Viswanathan (UConn Psychology) are each giving talks in PhG this Friday (April 10), from 4:00-5:45. The talks present opposite sides on a fundamental dispute in the theory of speech perception. John writes:
Navin and I don't plan this to be a point-counterpoint presentation, but instead a chance to lay out some recent relevant empirical results that point in opposite theoretical directions. Navin will give a more technical version of his talk in my lab meeting 2:30-3:45 in Bartlett 6 the same day. After it's all over we'll take him out for a well-deserved supper. Anyone is welcome to join us.
Here is a link to the talks' abstracts, bundled into a single document.

Linguist List Fund Drive; Challenge from Barbara Partee
Linguist List is running its annual fund drive right now. It is likely to be a tough year, what with the world economy in a tailspin, so please donate if you have the means.
Barbara Partee sponsored a special challenge:
If 15 people who never gave to LINGUIST List before give at least $25 within 8 hours (8am - 4pm Eastern Time), she'll give an extra $100.
Unfortunately, WHISC is arriving in your inbox after the close of this special challenge, but you should still stop by the site and make a donation!
[Thanks Barbara!]
