Departmental Seminar and Other Events
The Linguistics Department holds a departmental seminar every week, with
presentations alternating between Generative Linguistics and Structuralist Linguistics.
There are also joint sessions, intended for both streams.
The seminars cover current research
by staff, visitors, and students. M.A. students are required to attend, and to present
part of their thesis at the departmental seminar. The seminar meets on Tuesdays 16:30-18:00 in room 2714. It is course #36810 for first-year MA student and 36811 for second-year MA students.
The Generative Linguistics coordinator of the departmental seminar is Nora Boneh.
