ROAMING GRADUATE STUDENTS

Students from the department will be roaming far and near to present the results of their research over the next month or two.

Vera Gribanova will travel to Germany to give a talk at Formal Descriptions of Slavic Languages 7, which takes place at the University of Leipzig in late November. The title of Vera’s talk is ‘Phonological evidence for a distinction between Russian prepositions and prefixes’.

Meanwhile, Dave Teeple and Aaron Kaplan will both be presenting at the Mid-America Linguistics Conference at the University of Kansas in October. Aaron’s topic is Stress in the trigger of Chamorro umlaut, while Dave will speak on Emergentism and OT: a compromise. This conference marks the 50th anniversary of the Department of Linguistics at the University of Kansas (Dave’s alma mater).

Finally, recent alumnus Pete Alrenga will do a poster presentation on Tokens, Types, and Identity at NELS 38 in Ottawa, October 26–28, 2007.
