Syntax Seminar – Stefan Keine
ZoomStefan Keine on Hindi/Urdu crossover asymmetries ( joint work with Rajesh Bhatt) We investigate and analyze a crossover asymmetry in Hindi/Urdu scrambling: such scrambling is not subject to (secondary) weak crossover but at the same time shows clear (secondary) strong crossover effects. This asymmetry provides empirical evidence that the two types of crossover must be analytically...

Phonetics Seminar: Fernando Llanos (U of Texas, Austin), “Reopening the sensitive period in adult learners of lexical tones”
Abstract: Humans are excellent learners. Yet, a notable and well-documented exception is the acquisition of non-native speech categories by adults. Speech category learning is supported by multiple systems and, as we learn more about these systems, it is becoming possible to improve perceptual behavior in adult learners. In this talk, which reflects on my postdoctoral...
