The Institute for Computational and Experimental Study of Language is an interdisciplinary research group that spans the departments of Communications Disorders, Computer Science, Language, Literatures and Cultures, Linguistics and Psychology. Its launch workshop is April 1, and speakers include new Linguistics faculty Kristine Yu and Brian Dillon, as well as Alexandra Jesse from the Psychology department.

This is a reminder of two important deadlines involving ICESL, both falling on March 12.
1. Poster submissions for the launch workshop, held April 1. If you would like to present a poster, just send us a list of authors and title by March 12. The poster session will be followed by a catered dinner for all presenters at the workshop. The list of presenters will give us a head count for the dinner. The poster does *not* have to present new work -- it's perfectly fine, and in fact encouraged, to present work from another conference. The goal is to give us all a sense of the full range of computational and experimental work on language being done on campus.
2. Seed grant proposals. Small grants, usual maximum $2000, with sponsors from 2 departments in ICESL. Further guidelines are here:
