The reading group on Experimental and computational approaches to morphology and the lexicon meets every month, generally on the second Friday, from 10AM to 11:30AM in room 533 and online. The online link is sent by email a week before each session.
Marine Wauquier is in charge of organizing the sessions (succeeding Matías Guzman Naranjo)
