On two Fridays, April 15 and April 22, Yale linguistics graduate students in their second and third years will give talks based on their qualifying papers. These papers, one of which is required in each of the second and third years and which cover two different areas of linguistics, represent significant original research culminating in a work of publishable quality.
A number of Yale linguists presented at PLC 40, the Penn Linguistics Colloquium at the University of Pennsylvania:
Ryan Bennett will present work on Kaqchikel phonetics and phonology. Ryan Kasak is presenting on Siouan templatic morphology.
The paper, co-authored with colleagues in Neuroscience, studies the role of the Foxp2 gene in mouse vocalizations.
Assistant Professor Ryan Bennett presented the Distinguished Alumnus Lecture at Linguistics at Santa Cruz 2016 on Saturday, March 5. The annual LASC conference showcases the research of current Santa Cruz linguistics students, and features a Santa Cruz PhD alum as an invited speaker.
Several Yale linguistics faculty, students, and alumni presented at the 90th Annual Meeting of the Linguistics Society of America (LSA).
Ryan will present a talk “Algunas estructuras fonéticas de las vocales de kaqchikel de Sololá, Guatemala” at COLMEX on September 7.
Several members of the department will give talks, present posters, and receive awards.
