We are pleased to announce Lynschrift18, a conference in honor of the retirement of Professor Lyn Frazier from the UMass Department of Linguistics.

The celebration will begin with a dinner and party at the Quonquont Farm in Whatley, Mass, 6 PM, Friday, May 18. Help us plan transportation to the party! If you have a car and can take some guests, please post your availability at https://www.groupcarpool.com/t/ny2fe3 If you need a ride, go that page and make arrangements with one of the people offering rides.

The conference proper will be held on May 19-20, 2018, on the campus of the University of Massachusetts Amherst. It will take place in Room W245 of the completely remodeled South College – you won’t recognize it! (But don’t be worried – they didn’t move South College to the opposite side of the UMass pond.) The conference will feature two days of invited talks by many of Lyn’s students, collaborators, and friends from around the world, as well as poster sessions and social events.

For more information, please send an email to to lynschrift18@gmail.com, or contact one of the organizers: Chuck Clifton, Brian Dillon, and Adrian Staub.
