S-Side Story is a group that discusses the exciting developments in syntactic research and its interfaces. Since June 2021, S-Side Story has taken over the former\u00a0Syntax+.\u00a0Given the increasing amount of interest and work in semantics and the interface with morphology, but also psycholinguistics, the plus sign was too underspecified to capture everything. The new name aims to represent the multifaceted research interests of the group while still maintining syntax at its core.<\/p>\n

We hold regular meetings for students and faculty members to present their research projects and get feedback. Occassionally, we have special talks given by invited speakers. <\/p>\n

All topics which are of relevance to syntax, semantics, and their interfaces are welcome. If you want to schedule a presentation at S-Side Story or want to be added to the mailing list, please contact Yingyu Su (yingyus@usc.edu).<\/p>\n

S-Side Story is currently managed by faculty advisor Andrew Murphy (murphyan@usc.edu) and graduate student coordinator Yingyu Su (yingyus@usc.edu).<\/p>\n

We currently meet from 2:00pm to 3:00pm every Wednesday in GFS 330. All are welcome! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n \n\n <\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n\n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
