Synners is a discussion/reading group at Ohio State devoted to the study of syntax. We are interested in arranging for presentations by anyone who has something that might bear on syntax and syntactic theory, including things about syntactic theory per se, analyses of particular phenomena in particular languages, relationships between syntax and something else, like comprehension, prosody, meaning, phonology, production, computation, change, etc. If you are interested in giving a presentation in Synners, or if you would like to have Synners focus on a particular issue or piece of literature, please get in touch with Peter Culicover or Bob Levine.
Click here for the current schedule for Synners. It is updated periodically.
