ADLER & SMITH @ AMP

As semanticists migrate northward in preparations for winter, phonologists will be heading south. Graduate student Jeff Adler will be presenting two posters at the 2016 Annual Meeting in Phonology Conference (AMP), at USC: “The moraic trochee in the Mohawk stress-epenthesis interactions”, based on his QP last year and, alongside Jesse Zymet from UCLA, “Irreducible parallelism in process interactions”, which extends the claims of Adler’s QP, both cross-linguistically and theoretically. Visiting faculty Brian Smith will be presenting the poster “Emergent idiosyncrasy in English comparatives” with UConn’s Claire Moore-Cantwell.

Speakers at the conference include alum Ryan Bennett, who is delivering the co-authored talk on Kaqchikel entitled “Against phonetic realism as the source of root co-occurrence restrictions”, and other poster presenters include former visitors Adam Albright and Lev Blumenfeld, and alum Andy Wedel.
