MidPhon 17
Linguistics at UMichigan was well-represented at MidPhon 17, held October 21-23 at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. Despite the daunting requirement of many hours driving through unutterable flatness, a full seven of our students and faculty attended the very lively three-day conference, at which research by Michigan undergrads, graduate students and professors was presented, discussed, debated and applauded.
All this effort paid off -- for example, it was determined the business meeting that we will be hosting MidPhon 18 next fall.
Talks and posters are listed below; abstracts are available in the program
