SUMMARY:Lisa Pearl (UC Irvine) - computational\, acquisition
DESCRIPTION:**UPDATE: Starting 15 minutes earlier than usual due to a logistical complication.** \n \nHow children are and aren’t like adults when interpreting pronouns:  \n \nA computational cognitive modeling investigation \n \nInterpreting pronouns in context is a complex linguistic task\, especially when cues to a pronoun’s intended interpretation conflict. Children haveto learn to interpret pronouns like adults do\, and computational cognitive modeling can help identify what potentially needs to change for them to do so. Here\, I present a case study of pronoun interpretation in Mexican Spanish\, using computational cognitivemodeling to capture observed differences between children and adults interpreting pronouns in context in a picture-selection task. Modeling results suggest that children are likely either always deploying inaccurate representations of their input\, or selectivelydeploying accurate representations\, but not selectively deploying inaccurate representations. In contrast\, adults are likely always deploying inaccurate representations. So\, this would mean that becoming adult-like doesn’t mean becoming accurate; rather\, tobecome adult-like\, children would need to learn how to be inaccurate in the right ways for potentially both representation and deployment of pronoun information.  \n \n \nZoom link:  \n \nhttps://ucla.zoom.us/j/91259768698?pwd=WDl2RjVCRUpzZlU4VjEvSkFXVThMUT09Meeting ID: 912 5976 8698Passcode: 057388 \n \n*Please log into Zoom using your UCLA account.

SUMMARY:Michelle Yuan (UC San Diego) - syntax\, fieldwork
DESCRIPTION:We are pleased to welcome Michelle Yuan (UC San Diego) as part of theUCLA Linguistics Colloquium Series. This talk will be given in person.Title: Morphological conditions on chain resolution: Inuktitut noun incorporation revisited \nAbstract: Previous research on the Copy Theory of Movement has suggested that therealization of movement chains may be regulated by morphological well-formednessconditions governing complex word formation\, such as the Stray Affix Filter (e.g. Boskovic2001\, Landau 2006\, Kandybowicz 2007). This talk provides novel evidence for thisinteraction from noun incorporation in Inuktitut (Eastern Canadian varieties of the Inuitlanguage) and\, in doing so\, reevaluates a number of previous claims about the structuralproperties of incorporated objects in Inuit. Noun incorporation throughout Inuit is crosslinguistically unusual\, in that a small set of verbs is obligatorily incorporating (i.e. affixal)\,while for most other verbs incorporation is not possible (Sadock 1980\, Johns 2007). Incontrast to most prior characterizations of Inuit incorporation\, I present new data from myfieldwork demonstrating that incorporated nominals in at least Inuktitut are in factsyntactically active: despite their morphological appearance\, they display the same syntacticand semantic properties as their standalone counterparts and may be targeted by phrasal (AandA’-) movement operations. This is argued to be a Stray Affix effect applied in the contextof phrasal movement: the nominal complement of an incorporating verb is obligatorilyrealized within the verb complex\, regardless of whether it has undergone movement\, due tothe affixal nature of the verb. Finally\, I show how the basic logic of this interaction may serveas a novel diagnostic for backward control (cf. Polinsky & Potsdam 2002). \nPlease note the following COVID Safety protocols: \n\nMasking is required for all indoor Organized Events.\nMasking is required for smaller Organized Events while attendees are in line to enter\, exit\, or to use the restroom. \nUCLA  community  members  (Faculty\,  Staff\,  and  Students)  attending  an  indoor  or  outdoor  Organized  Event  must show their UCLA  COVID-19  Symptom  Monitoring  Clearance Certificate\, as part of the entry procedures. \nNon-Affiliates  (non-UCLA  community  members)  attending  an  indoor  or  outdoor  Organized Event must show proof of being fully vaccinated or a negative COVID test within 72 hours of the event upon entry. \n The following are acceptable proof of a negative COVID-19 test result:\n\nA photo ID of the attendee\, AND\nPrinted  documentation  from  a test  provider  or  lab\,  OR  an email  or  text message  displayed  on  a  smart phone  from  the  test  provider  or  lab.  The  information must include the person’s name\, the date the test was performed\, the type of test performed\, and a clear indication that the result was negative. \n\n\n\nNote that for colloquium talks this academic year\, no lunch will be provided by thedepartment. The faculty hosts will take the speaker somewhere on campus for lunch. Othersare welcome to join\, but will have to pay for themselves.
