GARCIA PRESENTS KORET SCHOLARSHIP AND HUGRA WORK

Last Friday, Christopher Garcia, a third-year linguistics major awarded both a Koret Undergraduate Research Scholarship and a Humanities Undergraduate Research Fellowship (HUGRA) in 2017-2018, presented the findings of his project on wh-movement in Santiago Laxopa Zapotec at both the Koret Undergraduate Research Slam and Celebrating Humanities Spring Awards Ceremony. In these poster presentations, he explored how wh-movement operates in this Zapotec variety and the constraints that are, or are not, imposed on it. He is looking forward to continuing his research in the upcoming year, working some of the many native speakers of Zapotec who live in the Santa Cruz area.
