Several current and former members of our department will be taking part in the annual meeting of the LSA and its sister societies, held this year in Austin, TX.
The paper is titled ”Covert pied-piping in English multiple wh-questions.”
Their paper, ”Phylogenetic approach to the evolution of color term systems,” was also featured in this week’s YaleNews.
As previously reported, the Yale linguistics department sent two teams to the 5th Annual New Haven Reads Spelling Bee, held last night at the Yale School of Management.
Their talk, titled “Against phonetic realism as the source of root co-occurrence restrictions,” presents an acoustic analysis of data drawn from a spoken corpus of Kaqchikel.
The event, a fundraiser for New Haven Reads, is 7-9pm (doors open at 6) on Friday, October 21, at the Yale School of Management.
The paper examines whether classroom second-language instruction results in improvement in Japanese vowel duration contrast discrimination.
Tomorrow, lecturer Hadas Kotek is giving a talk, undergraduate alumna Maria Kouneli is presenting a paper, and former faculty member Gaja Jarosz is delivering a plenary talk.
Her paper is titled “Covert partial wh-movement and the nature of derivations.”
Members of our department traveled all over the world for summer institutes, conferences, and fieldwork, and we hosted several visiting undergraduate researchers on campus.
