Series
Juan Uriagereka (LING, SLLC) will be hosting a screening and discussion of Arrival as part of the course Science & Society Via Film. Come for the aliens, the linguistics, or--in Juan's words--"the fact that a linguistics professor gets to live in a mansion by a lake".
You might want to warm up with a close reading of the fictional linguist's office.

Prediction during language processing: Beyond activation
Abstract: Prediction during language processing has been extensively studied over the past decades, however, the specific mechanisms involved are under ongoing debate. In this talk I will focus on a suggested distinction between two qualitatively distinct prediction processes, pre-activation and pre-updating, presenting experiments aimed to examine key aspects of these processes.
