SLUGS AT WSCLA

Over the last weekend, the 24th Workshop on the Structure and Constituency of the Languages of the Americas (WSCLA) took place at the University of Maryland in College Park, MD. Participants at the conference enjoyed jovial and lively discussions of indigenous American languages alongside warm sunshine punctuated by bursts of rain. Two UCSC graduate students, Andrew Hedding and Ben Eischens, gave talks. Andrew’s talk was titled “The phonetic realization of focus in San Martín Peras Mixtec, and Ben’s was “Tonal negation and negative elements in San Martín Peras Mixtec.”
