Following this keynote lecture will be the Spring Conference where PhD candidates present their research activities:
The Cognitive Science Spring Conference is held each year in April. It showcases the research activities of the students in Cognitive Science at Carleton. Ph.D. students in Cognitive Science who are in the first or second year of their program are required to present at CSSC; senior undergraduates and other Ph.D. students are also encouraged to present....
Anyone who is interested in cognitive science, psycholinguistics, language acquisition, generative syntax or universal grammar should attend; I will be there!
Update 17 April: If this is not the paper that will be presented at the keynote address, it's at least highly relevant (link as PDF).
