SLUGS AT FASAL

On March 31 – April 1 Emily Manetta (UCSC PhD 2006; now at University of Vermont), current MA student Mansi Desai, and Rachel Showstack (UCSC BA History, 2006; PhD Hispanic Linguistics UT Austin, now a linguist at Wichita State) attended the eighth annual Formal Approaches to South Asian Languages (FASAL) conference at Wichita State University. Mansi presented a poster entitled “Agreement Probes in Standard Gujarati” and Emily gave a talk on adverbs, polarity and verb movment in Hindi-Urdu in a session chaired by Rachel. A photo of the slug crew is below. Behind them is a recently restored original Miró mural “Personnages Oiseaux”, composed of over a million glass and which is part of the permanent collection of Wichita State’s art museum.
