ExLing presentations in Spring 2023

By in Uncategorized on .

It was a busy Spring 2023 for ExLing Lab members!

In March, the whole lab group took a road trip to Urbana Illinois, where Vanessa Sheu and Jingying Hu presented papers at the 15th Annual Meeting of the Illinois Language and Linguistics Society (ILLS15). The theme of the conference was Interdisciplinary Approaches to Bilingualism.
