25th anniversary meetingNow we are 25!

The 25th Annual CUNY Conference on Human Sentence Processing, CUNY 2012, offered a program of 36 papers presented in plenary session, plus 150 posters arranged in three sessions, Wednesday March 14 through Friday March 16, 2012.  The meeting venue was Proshansky Auditorium and its associated breakout spaces, on the concourse level of CUNY Graduate Center.

With support from the National Science Foundation, five special sessions placed throughout the program over the three days of the conference highlighted a variety of views on a question that remains a central one for the discipline:
