Remember: students who present evidence of
having participated in a linguistics research study will have their “new”
lowest grade replaced by a grade of 5. These experiments usually last no more than one hour, and scheduling is
available at a variety of times. Interested students should email ling.experiments@gmail.com before December 1 to arrange their participation,
or to ask any questions. Participation in such an experiment must occur no
later than Friday, December 10; proof of participation must be given to me
before the start of the final examination on Wednesday, December 15. (Proof or participation will be provided by the staff
running the experiment.)
