MECAHNISMS OF MEANING 2010: HW1                  Raquel Fernandez, ILLC
=======================================================================

- Attend the talk by Stefan Evert at the CLS on Wed 22 Sept, 4pm.

- Write a summary of the talk. It should include two parts:
  
  1- an objective summary of the contents of the talk that covers
  the most important points made by the speaker (broad research area,
  approach, main claims, results, etc.), in your own words
  but without including any kind of personal opinions. 

  2- a critical comment where you do expose your opinion on the
  work presented. Did you find it interesting? Were the speaker's
  claims convincing? Was there anything you did not understand?

The summary should have a clear structure and be written in
good English. Grading will take both content and style into account.

Length: minimum 1 page, maximum 2. Use 11pt font and reasonable margins.

=> The summary is due on Monday 27 September. 
   Send it to me via email as a PDF attachment with your name 
   (e.g. yourname-summary.pdf).
