You are cordially invited to join us for a Colloquium presented by the SPHS Department and the SPHS PhD Organization.
Monday, September 14, 2009
4:00-5:00 p.m.
Speech and Hearing Building, Room C141
Brief reception to follow in room C108
Sharlene Newman, Assistant Professor of Psychology at Indiana University, will present, "Neuroimaging Studies of Syntax."
Abstract:
When most of us think of grammar we think of the endless number of rules we were forced to learn in grade school. However, to understand the importance of grammar all we need to do is read the papers of some of our students that are filled with grammatical errors; errors that make it incredibly difficult to understand the intended message. In this talk I will focus on one aspect of grammar: syntax. There have been a number of neuroimaging studies that have attempted to localize syntactic processing to the inferior frontal gyrus. I will discuss the problems that have been encountered in doing so as well as some of the data from my lab.

Computational Linguistics
We are pleased to announce the following computational linguistics (CL) opportunities, as we start the semester.
1. We have our a listserv (COMPLING-L), to manage CL announcements & discussions, and many CL announcements are sent only to this listserv. Details on how to subscribe are at the end of this announcement.
2. We are continuing a CL discussion group this semester, a forum for presentations and discussions. Anyone who has work-in-progress (at any stage) can present their work in this informal setting and receive feedback. It's great for students to get feedback, and it's great for all of us to become more aware of the different types of CL-related work being done here at IU.
We are planning on Tuesdays at 11:00 a.m., and we will meet in Memorial Hall (MM) 401. Our first, organizational meeting will be this coming Tuesday, September 2.
If you want to subscribe to COMPLING-L, send an e-mail message to listserv@indiana.edu with the following command in the body:
subscribe CompLing-l
You'll receive an email confirming your subscription, as well as details on how to post messages, etc.

Seminar: David McCarty
You are cordially invited to join us for the opening presentation of the Logic Seminar Series for 2009-2010.
David McCarty, IU Philosophy Department, will present, "On Pure Syntax."
Wednesday, September 2
4:00 p.m.
Ballantine Hall 018
Abstract:
The talk offers a close and detailed examination of the question, "Is there support in mathematical logic for the claim that there is pure syntax, that is, formal or natural languages whose elements are naturally devoid of denotational meaning?" Results of the examination are brought to bear on familiar assumptions in cognitive science and computability theory.

WonderLab's "Science Night Out"
WonderLab's annual gala, Science Night Out, is coming up on Friday, September 11 at the Bloomington Convention Center. This event raises essential operating funds for the museum, funds that are even more critical in this year as grant resources have become more scarce.
WonderLab Museum of Science, Health and Technology is a critical outreach partner to many IU-based NSF grants. It provides crucial resources for K-12 education and teacher training, and is a tremendous asset for our own families, our area schools and for Indiana University students seeking service learning opportunities.
I would therefore like to strongly encourage you to join me in purchasing a ticket for WonderLab's Science Night Out annual gala. WonderLab is a private non-profit educational organization, and tickets are tax-deductible in large part. The deadline to purchase tickets (September 4 ) is right around the corner. Guests must be 21 years old or older. For information about the evening and the ticket-order form follow this link: http://wonderlab.org/membersndonors/fundraising.shtml
Here is what to expect in a nutshell: Science Night Out will be hosted by Coach Tom and Joani Crean and will have a theme of "WonderLab Untamed." The evening will kick off with a cocktail hour featuring live animals from across the globe, delicious hors d'oeuvres, cash bar, and one of Bloomington's largest silent auctions. A gourmet dinner and spectacular live auction will follow.
Please consider joining me at this important and truly enjoyable event for WonderLab!
