S-Side Story is USC Linguistics\u2019 syntax and semantics research group. We provide a forum for discussing ongoing research in syntax, semantics, and their interfaces with other areas of linguistics.<\/p>\n

We hold regular meetings where students and faculty present ongoing research, receive feedback, and discuss new ideas and developments in the field. We also occasionally host special talks by invited speakers and other events, such as journal clubs and practice talks.<\/p>\n

We welcome work on all topics related to syntax, semantics, and their interfaces. If you would like to present at S-Side Story or be added to our mailing list, please contact graduate student coordinator Yingyu Su (yingyus@usc.edu).<\/p>\n

S-Side Story is currently organized by faculty advisor Deniz Rudin (drudin@usc.edu) and graduate student coordinator Yingyu Su (yingyus@usc.edu).<\/p>\n

We meet Wednesdays from 2:00\u20133:00pm 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
