Suggestions

Holdover suggestions from past terms

• (Florian) I suggest we read Chang et al.'s paper (http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.jml.2009.07.006). This fits in well with Alison, Austin, and Masha's interests I believe and it would be good for everyone to know some of Chang's work. We can accompany this reading with Chang et al. 2006 "Becoming Syntactic" (http://www.kecl.ntt.co.jp/clip/member/chang/papers/chang,dell,bock.pdf). Masha and Alison would you be willing to prepare this meeting? Maybe we all read one of the Chang papers and one McDonald paper (e.g. http://lcnl.wisc.edu/publications/archive/5.pdf) on acquisition with the other Chang paper being optional?
