Junko Ito and Armin Mester presented their paper "Antipalatalization as a systemic
effect" at this year's meeting of the Chicago Linguistic Society (Thursday,
4/10 - Saturday 4/12). They also spent a very pleasant evening with Chris Kennedy
and his family, who seem to be doing very well in Chicago. Another old
SantaCruzian at the conference was our former undergraduate Jeff Runner (now
a faculty member at Rochester), who put forth a very impressive Power Point
presentation on his psycholinguistic experiments related to Principle B of
the Binding Theory.
