Interested in Language Science?

Just got the following email from Colin Philips in Linguistics / Cognitive Neuroscience.  This is regarding language science. Please see below... feel free to email me if you have questions:

I'm hoping that you can help us to reach students in the CS/iSchool universe who might be interested in taking advantage of our unique interdisciplinary language science opportunities. We're particularly interested in reaching 1st and 2nd year students. We'll be holding an informational meeting for students tomorrow at 1pm in 1108B Marie Mount, but I'd be happy to meet at another time with anybody who is interested but not available at that time. We'll tell students about the opportunities and benefits, and also talk about the resources that are available to help them, including new plans to help them to develop interdisciplinary training plans that are both innovative and feasible. Csilla Kajtar already circulated a message about this, but we know that people often just ignore messages sent to mailing lists.

As you know, the closer integration of NLP and cognitive work in language is right at the top of our list of opportunities-that-we'd-be-idiots-not-to-pursue, and student training is one of the best ways to achieve this.

  1. last January there was a 'winter-storm session' about language science here, it was great ( and there was free lunch every day )
