What we did over last week

Florian

1. Accepted: Dave's paper on selective adaptation. Congratulations on a near-record accept time!

2. Gave talk at CUHK. Lots of good question. I presented my research with Dan Gildea and lots of Masha's studies, as well as the work by Chigusa on Japanese case-marking.

3. Feedback on Linda's talk for AMLaP. It apparently went really well. Ask her about it. Thanks for everyone's input on earlier versions.

4. Feedback on Zach's accent adaptation project. It seems we're getting somewhere in figuring out some issues that were unearthed based on feedback from Dave. Thanks!

5. Feedback on new project proposal by Scott Seyfarth and Esteban for an experiment on voicing production in Armenian. We should have Scott visit and present his work some time in this semester or next. Esteban, wanna ask him again?

6. Feedback on Masha's job application, research statements etc.

7. Feedback on Vince Porretta's NSHERC post-doc application to join the lab. Due at the end of the month.
