Welcome to LING420

This class meets MWF 2-2:50pm in CAB 235.

My office hours this semester are Tuesdays 10-11am and Wednesdays 12:45-12:45pm in Assiniboia Hall 4-22.
If you can't make those times, email me to make an appointment. At any time outside office hours I am definitely not guaranteed to be in my office, and my office phone has no voicemail, so you should always try email first.
