  • Syn/Sem Talk – Ramiro Caso

    2122 Campbell Hall

    A talk by Ramiro Caso, a philosopher/linguist visiting us from Buenos Aires. Towards a dynamic account of deontic modals I investigate the semantic and pragmatic behavior of deontic modals from a dynamic perspective. Pragmatically, deontic modals exhibit complex anchoring patterns that depend both on whose information state and whose preference ordering are taken as relevant, […]

  • Colloquium Talk – Rachel Walker

    Position-sensitive transparency in vowel harmony: The role of prosodic gestures and locality A recent crosslinguistic study of positional privilege in vowel harmony observed that vowels in a stressed syllable may asymmetrically block harmony, but they are never singled out to be transparent (Kaplan & Walker 2024).

  • Syn/Sem Talk – Anand Abraham

    2122 Campbell Hall

    “Sluicing as Discourse Anaphora” Sluicing is a phenomenon where a *wh*-phrase is used to stand for the meaning of a whole question. Sluicing is traditionally analyzed as a variety of ellipsis (Chung et al. 1995, Merchant 2001), but significant mismatches are possible between the antecedent of a sluice and the structure that is posited in […]

  • Colloquium Talk – Matt Wagers

    Setting healthy (mnemonic) boundaries Some 20 years ago, Lewis & Vasishth (2005) applied the ACT-R modeling framework to language processing by creating an English parser fragment embedded in an associative memory.
