SUMMARY:Colloquium Talk – Kathryn Franich
DESCRIPTION:Cross-Linguistic Variation in Co-Speech Gesture Timing: Evidence for Grammatical Control \nCo-speech gestures have traditionally been treated as an ‘extralinguistic’ phenomenon\, not implicated in theories of grammar (e.g. Hagoort & van Berkum 2007). In this talk\, I discuss cross-linguistic findings on the coordination of speech and co-speech gesture that reveal clear evidence of language-specific timing patterns\, a hallmark of grammatical control (Pierrehumbert 1980; Keating 1984). Looking at data from Medʉmba\, Babanki\, and two varieties of English\,  I demonstrate that a) gestures reveal language-specific patterns of prosodic prominence\, and b) co-speech gestures\, like oral articulatory gestures\, show language-specific patterns in the gestural landmarks selected for coordination (c.f. Browman & Goldstein 1986; Gafos 2002; Shaw et al. 2021). I then propose a framework for integrating co-speech gestures into the analysis of prosodic grammar. \nLocation: Kaplan Hall A65

SUMMARY:Colloquium Talk - Kalen Chang
DESCRIPTION:Two notions of strong equivalence\nIn this talk\, I propose two notions of equivalence between grammars and grammar formalisms that are useful for comparing not only which strings can be generated\, but also how they are generated. If a sentence is ambiguous in a language\, a suitable grammar should derive that sentence in multiple ways. In the first notion\, two grammars are equivalent if they generate each string in the same number of ways. The second involves considering all possible homomorphic functions over derivation trees\, including the usual semantic interpretations. Taking this perspective\, two grammars are equivalent if they generate the same sets of string-interpretation pairs. I will demonstrate how these two notions apply to Context-Free Grammars and Pushdown Automata\, as well as to Head Grammars and Linear Indexed Grammars\, and discuss how studying translations between equivalent grammar formalisms sheds light on the recursive mechanisms underlying each formalism. \nLocation: Fowler Museum A139

SUMMARY:Psycho/CompLing Seminar - Shalinee Maitra
DESCRIPTION:Can children use tense and aspect morphology to learn novel verbs? \nHow do children learn how their language marks tense and aspect? How do they disentangle what marks tense and what marks aspect? I consider these questions and present some preliminary results from a study investigating whether English-acquiring children can use tense and aspect morphology to learn novel verbs\, as well as a planned follow-up study. Showing when children can use tense and aspect morphology to learn novel verbs bears on the question of whether this morphology can aid them in vocabulary learning\, while also constraining the relevant time period for investigating how tense and aspect morphology are acquired.

SUMMARY:Syntax/Semantics Seminar - Ed Keenan
DESCRIPTION:In languages with just first order quantifiers (e.g. English LF a la Heim & Kratzer 1998) whether a sentence is valid (logically true\, true in all models) depends on the valence of the lexical predicates in L. If all are one place\, P1s\, then validity is algorithmic (decidable); this fails once a single lexical two place predicate\, P2\, is added (Boolos and Jeffrey 1989). We illustrate this with a simple non-mathematical example from English. E.g. lexical P2s like like plus first order quantifiers enable us to construct sentences that are false in all finite models but true in some infinite ones. Mere P1s cannot force their models to be infinite (B&L 1989). Building on this we show that object quantifiers are logically more expressive than subject quantifiers (contra Heim & Kratzer). So while all subject quantifiers may occur on objects\, many object quantifiers do not occur grammatically on subjects. Further\, the logical richness of P2s also supports the existence of non-compositional quantifiers determined by <subject\, object> pairs that map the P2 denotation directly to 0 or 1.

SUMMARY:Syntax/Semantics Seminar - Will Zimmermann\, Hannah Lippard
DESCRIPTION:Epistemic modality as disjunction in Cinyungwe\nHannah Lippard \nI will present a portion of my ongoing dissertation research on polysemous disjunction in the Mozambican Bantu language Cinyungwe. In this talk\, I will focus on the lexical items peno and pinango\, which have both disjunctive and epistemic modal meanings. As coordinators and as modals\, their syntactic distribution partially but not entirely overlaps. I will present empirical patterns regarding the interpretations of peno and pinango\, including bisyndetic coordination\, noun class agreement\, subject-object asymmetry\, and speaker knowledge. I will suggest that neither word has Boolean disjunction as its core semantic meaning. Instead\, both appear to be instances of Cinyungwe co-opting discourse-adverbial epistemic modals to express disjunction. \n  \nWhat is bro doing?\nWill Zimmermann \nBro is a decidedly Gen-Z/Internet piece of vernacular\, and its users accept sentences like (1-3). In this talk\, I aim to bring us closer to situating bro within a typology of pronominals and related objects. \n\nWhat is bro doing?\nI feel bad for bro\nBro hasn’t read {his/her/their/*bro’s} Kripke\n\nLike a third singular pronoun\, bro picks out a referent in the discourse (1-2). It can occur anywhere in the string\, as demonstrated by (1-3). Additionally\, it can be coreferential with a pronoun of any gender but cannot itself be bound\, both shown in (3). Taken together with the fact that it is clearly lexical yet lacks an overt determiner\, this makes it seem like some sort of proper name. And yet it carries a strong (negative\, humorous\, sarcastic) evaluative component\, making it seem like an epithet (e.g.\, the guy\, the idiot; see Patel-Grosz 2014\, 2015) . So what is it? I do not propose a final analysis of this never-before-studied item\, but I do try to get us closer. \nThis talk is structured as follows. After introducing bro and its general properties\, I discuss personal pronominal inventories cross-linguistically\, demonstrating that they do not have to be closed and non-lexical like in standard English (Panagiotidis 2002; Ritter & Wiltschko 2019; Song\, Nguyen\, and Biberauer 2024\, a.o.). Next\, I discuss epithets and find that\, although bro possesses some epithet-like properties (has a negative evaluative component\, cannot bear stress)\, it fails other tests. I then discuss whether bro can be treated as a proper noun. Finally\, I introduce a number of bro-like items from the same register\, namely blud\, sis\, and unc\, which all function essentially the same. Intriguingly\, bro and these other items\, which I refer to collectively as bronouns\, are all originally either shortened kinship terms or words that refer to a certain kind of friend. I draw a connection to the superficially similar items Mom and Dad\, and I propose a diachronic account of bronouns. I conclude by relating their evolution to that of kinship-based pronouns in (South) East Asian languages like Vietnamese.

SUMMARY:Psycho/CompLing Seminar - Jack Duff
DESCRIPTION:Pragmatic effects can be hard to pin down in reading time measures. I’ll talk about a garden-path-like effect resulting from eager causal inferencing in English discourses\, which has been found once in eye-tracking (Hoek et al. 2021)\, but which I’ve failed to find in self-paced reading or Maze latencies (Duff 2023). Drawing on Clifton (2013)\, I’ll show new results using an alternative method\, using math questions between SPR passages and comprehension questions to require long-term storage of discourse meaning\, and thereby encourage rich first-pass representations. This turns out to do the trick! I’m hoping for thoughts and feedback on some ways of understanding why *this* method in particular should be helpful for encouraging incremental pragmatic enrichment in reading experiments.

SUMMARY:Colloquium Talk – Karthik Durvasula
DESCRIPTION:Gradience\, phonology and individual variation\nResearch over the last few decades has consistently questioned the sufficiency of abstract/discrete phonological representations based on putative misalignments between predictions from such representations and observed experimental results. Here\, I’ll first suggest that many of the arguments ride on misunderstandings of the original claims from generative phonology\, and that the typical evidence furnished is consistent with those claims. I’ll then narrow in on two phenomena\, namely\, incomplete neutralisation and near mergers\, and show again that they are consistent with the classic generative phonology view. I’ll further point out that extant accounts of the phenomena do not achieve important desiderata and typically do not provide explanations. Finally\, I present formalisations and simulations that correctly capture the desiderata for each of the phenomena. \nLocation: Fowler Museum A139

SUMMARY:Syntax/Semantics Seminar - Cor Zanda
DESCRIPTION:The Factative Effect in Avatime \nThe Factative Effect (Welmers 1973) is a phenomenon found in many African languages whereby a single aspectual category\, often labeled the factative\, seemingly has a past perfective usage with dynamic predicates and a present imperfective usage with stative predicates. Despite its prevalence\, this pattern has received little theoretical attention. In this talk\, I provide a description and partial analysis of the Factative Effect in Avatime\, a Ghana-Togo Mountain language spoken in Ghana\, based on novel fieldwork data. I argue that apparently stative predicates in Avatime encode a complex event structure composed of a change-of-state event and a subsequent target state. Such a representation lets us account for their behavior across a range of environments\, including in the factative aspect. Avatime therefore gives us a window into the semantics of lexical and grammatical aspect and their cross-linguistic variation.

SUMMARY:Psycho/CompLing Seminar - Adam Leif
DESCRIPTION:Agree is considered one of the fundamental operations of Minimalist Syntax\, responsible for establishing long-distance dependencies (e.g. agreement\, wh-movement). Various models of Agree have been suggested over the last few decades\, and the operation has become increasingly flexible and parameterized (e.g. with articulated probes\, separation of interaction and satisfaction) to account for complex data. However\, as we strengthen Agree\, what extra typological predictions do we make? Do they coincide with observed data\, or do we face significant overgeneration? In the latter case\, can we identify the individual modifications to Agree that result in a mechanism that is “too strong”\, in some way? I’ll present my (very ongoing) work\, which includes a face-value implementation in Python of Chomsky 2000/2001’s version of Agree. I should come with some interesting patterns that it generates\, and am hoping to frame things more as a discussion than a full presentation. Looking forward to hearing people’s thoughts!

SUMMARY:Syntax/Semantics Seminar - Anand Abraham
DESCRIPTION:Internal determiners in Pular relative clauses \nThis talk presents novel data from Pular\, an Atlantic language spoken in Guinea. I show that in Pular\, it is possible to express the determiner for a relative clause in a clause-internal position\, directly after any verb. Based on this\, I argue for the following claims. First\, Pular provides evidence for a head-raising analysis of relative clauses\, with the head noun and determiner both originating in a clause-internal position. Second\, heads of Pular relative clauses move successive-cyclically to their final position through vP-specifiers\, and it is at these positions where the determiner may be realized.
