Walker gave an invited talk at OCP21

Faculty Rachel Walker was an invited speaker at the Old World Conference in Phonology (OCP) 21 at Leipzig University on February 14-16. She presented a talk titled “Stressed syllables are not singled out for transparency: A gestural account” (see slides).

As an anecdote, the conference included a tour of a cemetery in Leipzig of tombstones for scholars who made historical contributions to the study of linguistics and language (see pictures below). Some of the renowned names are August Leskien, Wilhelm Streitberg, Eduard Sievers, and Wilhelm Wundt.
