CA LINGUISTS GET PHRENDLY
On Saturday, April 6, linguists from around the nation flocked to UC Berkeley to attend the Phonetics and Phonology Research Weekend (PHREND). This gaggle of p-siders included several proud representatives of UCSC, and the day was truly a jovial one, including the concluding gathering hosted by Larry Hyman. A list of UCSC presentations is given below.
Talks:
Richard Bibbs: “Perceptual factors license phonological contrasts in Chamorro.”
Grant McGuire: “Typicality effects on voice recall.”
Visiting professor Gorka Elordieta (University of the Basque Country): “Phonological well-formedness constraints on the mapping from syntactic to prosodic structure in Northern Bizkaian Basque.”
Posters:
Andrew Angeles: “The road to initial accent in Kyoto Japanese trimoraic nouns.”
Jérémie Beauchamp: “Alternations in epenthetic vowel quality in Kĩsêdjê.”
Andrew Hedding: “New information and the grammar of focus: evidence from San Martín Peras Mixtec.”
Nick Van Handel: “The Italian syntax-prosody interface in Match Theory.”
Congratulations on a weekend well spent, linguists!
