SUMMARY:Colloquium with Kristen Syrett (Rutgers)
DESCRIPTION:Zoom link: https://ucla.zoom.us/j/98929850267?pwd=Y3hUdi9RSG5ITG9UT0ZGRUFReU5hdz09 \nMeeting ID: 989 2985 0267  \nPasscode: colloquium  \nAbstract: Making comparisons and interpreting comparatives in child language  \n \nRutgers University – New Brunswick \nFor many years now\, researchers in language and cognitive development have been plagued by children’s divergent non-adult-like productions of comparative constructions\, and their apparent inability to properly interpret even the most basic of comparatives (although researchers have also thrown some complicated ones their way!). The source of the difficulty has been alternatively attributed to a lack of understanding of language-specific comparative morphology\, a misinterpretation of the form of the adjective\, or a reanalysis of the syntax of the comparative. In this talk\, I will present evidence from a number of studies coming out of my lab in the last few years demonstrating that not only do children perform at or near ceiling with certain basic comparative constructions\, but they also have sophisticated knowledge of the adjectival scalar structure that feeds into comparatives\, as well as the syntactic and semantic building blocks in place to represent comparative structures. Why\, then\, does it take them so long across other tasks to properly interpret and produce comparative constructions? I consider multiple explanations\, and lay out a path for a promising line of future research on degree constructions in child language.  \nEmail the Colloquium Committee at uclacolloquium@gmail.com to be added to the listserv. For guest outside of UCLA\, please submit an RSVP for colloquiums you would like to attend.

SUMMARY:Colloquium with Iara Mantenuto (Grad Colloquium)
DESCRIPTION:Expanding our Typology of Conjoined Comparatives(joint work with Margit Bowler (University of Manchester) & Octavio León Vázquez (CIESAS)) \nZoom link: https://ucla.zoom.us/j/95703088970?pwd=TENsT2EraFZTQXFvMG9xRTBtaXpQZz09 \nMeeting ID: 957 0308 8970 \nPasscode: 372159 \nPlease note: non-UCLA attendees should RSVP to linguist@humnet.ucla.edu in order to be admitted to the talk.  \nAbstractConjoined comparatives have traditionally been described as involving two conjoined clauses\, one containing the target comparison and the other containing the standard comparison (Stassen 1985); generally\, the expected form of the predicates is the positive form (Kennedy 1999\, 2011). Traditionally\, Mixtec comparatives have been presented as an example of conjoined comparatives (Stassen 1985)\, although they do no match the expected syntactic structure of conjoined comparatives. During this talk\, we provide evidence from San Sebastián del Monte Mixtec (ISO: oks) in support of the idea that Mixtec comparatives are indeed syntactically conjoined; however we can do so only by expanding the syntactic typology of conjoined comparatives. More importantly\, we account for the unexpected presence of degree morphology within this conjoined construction\, thus requiring a novel analysis of the semantics of conjoined comparison in SSM\, and an expansion of the typology of comparatives more widely\, to account for this unattested “mixed” construction.
