This group provides a semi-regular forum for
researchers who are working on any aspect of prosodic structure. We hope to
encourage informal networks of collaborators so that knowledge can be
spread and shared.
Our first meeting on July 12 consisted of a presentation by Duane Watson on Linguistic Structure in Intonational Phrasing in English and discussion. Future meetings may consist of presentation, tutorial, focused discussion, or some combination thereof. Meetings will usually take place at MIT in building 34, room 401. Note that there are no elevators in building 34 and you will use those in the adjacent building 36.
MIT's Building 34 is located at 50 Vassar St. in Cambridge, between
Mass. Ave. and Main Street. Street parking may be available in the
afternoon, but give yourself plenty of time to find it. Also note that
there is a huge amount of road construction at the intersection of Mass
Ave. and Vassar St. so you might not be able to turn exactly where you want.
Via public transportation, take the red line to Kendall Sq. Upon exiting
the station, walk up Main St. away from the river. [When you are re facing
away from the river, the MIT Coop will be on your right and the MIT
Press Bookstore on your left.] When Main St. splits, veer left onto
Vassar St. and walk along the huge construction site in the narrow chute
created by the cement barriers (the Vassar St. sign has disappeared).
Building 34 is the first building on the left after the construction.
You could also take a bus, such as the #1, to 77 Mass Ave. (main
entrance to MIT) and walk away from the river, making a right on Vassar St.
