    Corpus Linguistics Group (CLG)

  • CLG provides a forum for (under)graduate students, faculty and visitors to discuss corpus and experimental methods in linguistics and issues related to statistical and computational modeling in cognition.

    Update January 2012: The Corpus Linguistics Group (CLG) has evolved into the Language, Logic & Cognition (LaLoCo) lab. A description of LaLoCo’s overarching research goal is available here.


  • Crosslinguistic Investigations in Syntax-Phonology (CrISP)

  • Crosslinguistic Investigations in Syntax-Phonology (CrISP) is a collaborative research group within the UC Santa Cruz and Stanford University Linguistics Departments. We investigate prosodic structuring, allomorphy, and related processes at the syntax-phonology interface, with the aim of understanding the degree to which seriality and cyclicity play a role in these operations across languages.
