From July 12th to July 27th, I had an amazing time at the CreteLing2024 Summer School in Rethymno, Crete, Greece. It was the perfect mix of learning, exploring, and meeting new people.
Learning Highlights
I took three super interesting courses: “Introduction to Neurolinguistics” by Yosef Grodzinsky and “Ellipsis” by Kyle Johnson and David Pesetsky. These classes were a deep dive into how our brains process language and the quirks of syntax. I also dropped in on “Language Change” lectures by Paul Kiparsky and David Goldstein. Plus, I joined workshops on evolutionary methods in linguistics and pronominals in experimental syntax and semantics.
Making Connections
Meeting new, cool people was one of the best parts. The CreteLing2024 crowd was full of passionate linguists from all over the world.
Enjoying Crete
When I wasn’t studying, I made the most of Crete. The sea was perfect for cooling off, and I visited some amazing tourist spots in and around Rethymno.
