ITO AT UCLA

Junko Ito recently gave a colloquium at UCLA on Friday, April 6th, where she presented her work (jointly done with Jeff Adler, Nick Kalivoda and Armin Mester) on the microvariation of pitch accent systems in Kagoshima Japanese dialects. Contributing to the very interesting and stimulating discussion after the talk were the USC phonologists Stephanie Shih (Stanford PhD 2014) and Rachel Walker (UCSC PhD 1998).
