If anyone is around for SNL down the block from me, I have a sandbox poster on Sunday! I present some very preliminary data examining cued sentence recall with MEG. If you care about sentence recall, MEG sentence production, or combining psycholing with memory tasks, stop by poster E19!

Taking a syntactic formalisms class and I gotta say while MCFGs are cool they also produce some of the ugliest trees out there
