Can confirm, this is 100% a result of procrastinating actual work!

No such luck, sorry :3

Not sure if it will help or hurt to know, but I'm one of the short-listed postings. My POI is Pam Beddor, so hopefully that can give you some hope! I'm not sure how many they're planning on contacting or when different professors are contacting though.

Just finished my last application! Now to enjoy the sweet few weeks where I'm not checking my email every 37 seconds.

How mysterious! Will do

You're right, it should be on my list as well! The people that I know that are affiliated with that department are sharp and I'd especially love to work with Pam Beddor or Andries Coetzee.

Thanks for starting up the thread Nicholassss! I'm a phonetician so I'm not too familiar with theoretical programs you'd be applying too, but I'll be applying to programs as well for next fall. I'm mainly interested in large-scale corpus phonetics and answering questions about variation and change, social meaning and the like. I'm looking right now at Berkeley, Penn, McGill, OSU, and maybe Stanford, but I'd love to hear what programs other people are applying to as well! Cheers!

Chiming in to agree with Fuzzy, I feel that most professors would be more than happy to talk with you more about your questions about the program or the research. It may also be helpful to ask them to put you in touch with current grad students so you can get direct information about the atmosphere of the program and area.

I'm not sure about Syracuse, but another thing to consider is cost of living. Raleigh is quite cheap compared to other university towns you'd find in other states and cost of living is really quite good. If you have questions about the program at NCSU, just pm me!

Congratulations rainbowpink, just got my notice too!

Thanks Coffeemachine for the information! It's good to know a general time frame when I can stop checking my email compulsively!

Does anyone from previous years know when they tend to start sending notifications about fellowships? I can't find any info about the usual dates on their website.

@Gnome, thanks for the suggestions! There's a good deal of flexibility in the MA program I'm starting in the fall, so I'm just testing the waters now and if I really enjoy it I might try and break into the field. I've got working knowledge of UNIX and Python now, but I'll definitely be spending the next few months improving!

Hi All, So I'm a sociophonetics student starting to branch out and dabble in other subfields a bit. I was wondering what suggestions of solid intro/overview texts in comp. ling/NLP you might be able to suggest as additions to my summer reading list? Right now I'm working through a tutorial using python and the ntlk corpus/module/package for text processing things. And next on the list is Speech and Language processing (Jurafsky, 2009). What others texts/resources should I make sure not to miss as I'm getting the basics? Cheers and Thanks!
