- Sherry Chen<\/a> (3rd year) “I spent my summer in Berlin doing various things: 1. This summer, I\u0092ve been funded by the XPrag.de<\/a> Research Internship to work at ZAS Berlin, on the MUQTASP project “Modelling the Use of Quantifiers in Typical and Atypical Speakers Probabilistically\u0094. I worked primarily under the supervision of Dr Bob van Tiel and Dr Uli Sauerland. I was very happy to have this opportunity to work with the researchers here in Berlin.2. In July, I gave two invited talks here:Memory Retrieval in the Processing of Anaphoric Presupposition Dependencies. Talk given at the Psycholinguistics Colloquium, Berlin School of Mind and Brain, Humboldt-Universit\u00e4t zu Berlin, Germany. Processing Lifetime Effects in Tensed and Tenseless Languages. Talk given at the Psycholinguistics Colloquim, Institut f\u00fcr deutsche Sprache und Linguistik, Humboldt-Universit\u00e4t zu Berlin, Germany.<\/em> 3. In August, I attended the DGfS summer school organized by theXPrag.de<\/a> Priority Program. I studied presupposition, sentence processing at the syntax-discourse interface, and probabilistic pragmatics. This summer school offers a wide range of courses, taught by leading researchers in the field. It was a wonderful program that I thoroughly enjoyed and would enthusiastically recommend!” <\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

- Tracy Kelley (2nd year) taught language classes for Wampanoag tribal elders throughout the summer as part of the tribe’s “Lunch & Learn” program. She mainly instructed through immersion using total physical response (TPR) and a variety of interactive games. She also continued to develop curriculum for a new high school language course that is being offered by the W\u00f4pan\u00e2ak Language Reclamation Project <\/a>at Mashpee Middle High School.<\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
