HOEKS, KAPLAN, RICH, MANETTA @ eLASC

Last Saturday, the department hosted the most recent installment of our annual conference showcasing the department’s research, Linguistics at Santa Cruz (LASC). This year, the conference featured presentations by three current PhD students, Morwenna Hoeks,  Max Kaplan, and Stephanie Rich as well as a featured talk by PhD alum Emily Manetta  (U of Vermont).

Morwenna’s talk was titled “Focus alternatives in the derivation of disjunctive questions.” Max’s talk followed, titled “Metrical opacity and restructuring in Southern Pomo syncope.” Stephanie’s talk was titled “Syntactic and semantic parallelism guides filler-gap processing in coordination.” Emily concluded the day with a talk  “Head movement, head-stranding ellipsis, and V2.”

Many thanks to the faculty, staff, and graduate students who helped make this event possible!
