Syntax Lab
The purpose of the Syntax Lab (previously called 'Wednesday Syntax Meetings') is to give syntacticians from LUCL and outside the opportunity to present their work in an informal setting. This is the ideal place to present work in progress, do a mock defense, do dry runs for a conference or simply present a syntactic problem one would like to share with other people. If you have any suggestions, please contact one of the organizers.
- Co-ordinators: Allison Kirk and Sara Lusini
