SUMMARY:Colloquium Talk - Emily Bender: Synthetic text extruding machines: A linguist-eye view on their narrow range of applicability
DESCRIPTION:  \nSince the release of ChatGPT but also other large language models (Claude\, Bard\, LLaMA etc)\, the internet has been awash in synthetic text\, with suggested applications including robo-lawyers\, robo-therapists\, and robo-journalists. All of these applications present unacceptable risks because language models are nothing more than ungrounded text synthesis machines. In this talk\, I demystify language models through a discussion of their history and function and then overview the risks we identified in the Stochastic Parrots paper (Bender\, Gebru et al 2021) and those that have come to light since. Finally\, I explore what must hold for an appropriate use case for text synthesis. \nLocation – Haines Hall 220

SUMMARY:Colloquium Talk - Bronwyn Bjorkman: The puzzle of (apparently) phonologically motivated empty morphs
DESCRIPTION:  \nEmpty morphs are stable units of form that occur without any associated meaning or function\, the inverse of zero morphs. Some empty morphs seem to occur for phonological\, rather than morphological\, reasons. In Ndebele\, for example\, subminimal words can be augmented either by prefixing yi- or suffixing -na (Sibanda 2004: 113)—the former is plausibly a least-marked epenthetic syllable\, but the latter seems to be a fixed string (a morph) without any associated content. Such patterns pose a puzzle for a theory like Distributed Morphology\, just as in the more widely discussed case of (apparently) phonologically optimizing suppletive allomorphy: if phonology derivationally follows morphology\, as it does in standard DM\, morphological realization should not be constrained by phonological wellformedness. The puzzle posed by empty morphs is deeper\, however\, precisely because their emptiness means that there is no obvious morphosyntactic element for them to realize. This aspect of the puzzle is sharpened further in languages where the empty morph seems to be borrowed or repurposed from a morphologically contentful use elsewhere; in both Romanian and Armenian\, for example\, in certain contexts plural morphology occurs in non-plural contexts\, apparently to provide an extra syllable in words with monosyllabic roots (Steriade 2022 on Romanian; Arregi\, Myler\, & Vaux 2013 on Armenian). Here the question is not merely what the empty morph is realizing\, but how the morph can be inserted in the absence of morphosyntactic features that usually condition its occurrence. This talk explores the range of options for analyzing both ordinary empty morphs and morphs that are empty only in repurposed contexts\, focusing in particular how a purely realizational theory like DM could be modified to account for these patterns. \n  \nConference Room\, Campbell Hall 2122A/B \nZoom Link: https://ucla.zoom.us/j/92183308552

SUMMARY:Colloquium Talk - Sarah Phillips: No escape from morphemes in the bilingual mind
DESCRIPTION:LOCATION CHANGE – Campbell Hall 2122A and Zoom: https://ucla.zoom.us/s/91305505603 \n  \nIn the bilingualism literature\, most agree that the bilingual lexicon contains elements from both languages that can be activated non-selectively during processing (Kroll et al.\, 2013). Popular models of the bilingual lexicon often take an emergentist approach\, such as Dijkstra & Van Heuven’s (2002) BIA+ model\, drawing direct connections between form and meaning. A strong interpretation of such models predicts language switch effects during processing due to a change in phonological form. Studies that manipulate language switching between non-composed words to understand the nature of language control often observe processing delays (e.g.\, Meuter & Allport\, 1999) and neural activation differences (e.g.\, Abutalebi et al.\, 2008). However\, manipulating language switching between composed words fails to elicit processing delays/activation differences (e.g.\, Phillips & Pylkkänen\, 2021). I argue that syntactic/semantic composition eliminates language switching effects by increasing the predictability of input via morphemes. By taking a syntagmatic approach to bilingual input\, I will present recent\, ongoing\, and planned work that (i) utilizes artificial language learning to develop a working model of how bilinguals develop morphemes from two languages\, and (ii) tests this working model in bilingual-developing children.

SUMMARY:Colloquium Talk - Ryan Bennett: Anticipatory nasalization in A’ingae
DESCRIPTION:  \nAnticipatory nasalization in A’ingae: Language-specific phonetics\, not incomplete neutralization (Joint work with Scott AnderBois\, Shen Aguinda\, and Hugo Lucitante) \n  \nCross-linguistically\, vowels often undergo contextual nasalization in [VN] and [NV] sequences. In English\, vowel nasalization in [VN] appears partial rather than categorical. Cohn (1990\, 1993) influentially argued that vowels in [VN] contexts in English are phonologically unspecified for nasality (= [ø nasal])\, and undergo gradient coarticulatory nasalization during phonetic implementation\, differentiating them from true [+nasal] vowels (as in e.g. French /Ṽ/). In contrast\, Solé (1992\, 1995) argued that contextual nasalization is so extensive\, controlled\, and systematic in English [VN] that these vowels should be treated as phonologically [+nasal]. Phonetic differences in the extent of nasalization in English [VN] vs. French /Ṽ/ could then reflect the distinction between derived (predictable) vs. underlying (contrastive) [+nasal] vowels — in other words\, incomplete neutralization. \n  \nIn this talk\, I approach this debate with nasal airflow data from A’ingae\, a language isolate spoken in the Ecuadorian and Columbian Amazon. A’ingae has a /V Ṽ/ contrast\, and a phonological process of left-to-right nasal spreading in /NV/ → [NṼ]. A’ingae also has extensive\, but nonetheless partial nasalization in [VN] and [VⁿD] sequences. Nasalization before [N\,ⁿD] is phonetically distinct from nasalization on contrastive /Ṽ/\, and on nasal vowels derived by left-to-right spreading. Consequently\, partial nasalization in [VN] and [VⁿD] cannot reflect a distinction between derived and underlying nasal vowels (= incomplete neutralization)\, because not all derived nasal vowels have the same phonetic profile. I also argue that nasalization in [VN] and [VⁿD] does not have the phonetic profile expected for phonological nasal spreading to sub-segmental units. The overall conclusion is that partial nasalization in [VN] and [VⁿD] sequences reflects underspecifed nasality [ø nasal] on vowels\, along with an articulated system of language-specific phonetic realization. \n  \nLocation: Haines Hall 220

SUMMARY:Colloquium Talk - Edward Flemming - Generating and parsing f0 contours using a model of f0 production
DESCRIPTION:  \nI will present ongoing work aimed at developing a framework for formulating phonetic grammars of tone realization that can derive complete fundamental frequency (f0) contours from phonological specifications. \nThe proposed framework consists of two main components: A set of weighted constraints that select and locate optimal tone targets for a given phonological representation\, and a functional model of f0 production that maps time-aligned tone targets to f0 contours. These two components work in parallel: the constraints that determine tone targets evaluate properties of the resulting f0 contour. \nIn addition to generating f0 contours\, the model of f0 production can also be fitted to observed f0 contours to infer the underlying f0 targets\, effectively parsing the f0 contour. This proves particularly valuable when analyzing tones with targets that are difficult to locate because they correspond to a turning point in the f0 contour that is not a local maximum or minimum (often referred to as ‘elbow’ targets). \nThe framework will be illustrated through analyses of two tonal phenomena that involve elbow targets: (i) the timing of the L- phrase accent in English H*L- intonational melodies\, and (ii) realization of the Mandarin rising tone. \nLocation – Haines Hall 220

SUMMARY:Colloquium Talk - Chris Kennedy: Pragmatic Indecision
DESCRIPTION:Pragmatic Indecision \n\n\n\nVague predicates are obligatorily tolerant (Wright 1973).  For example\, the positive form gradable adjective ‘long’ cannot be used to draw a sharp distinction\, even when the facts of the context of utterance and the semantic properties of the sentence in which it occurs otherwise conspire to make such uses possible:  in a context in which there are exactly two salient objects A and B\, which are clearly but only slightly different in length\, it is infelicitous to use “the long one” to refer to the longer of the two; we must say “the longer one.” This despite the fact that the presuppositions of the definite article and the lexical semantic features of ‘long’ that underwrite a compositional account of the comparative ought to allow for such a use. In this talk\, I will do three things.  First\, I will argue that no existing account of vagueness — neither epistemic nor expressivist nor contextual nor semantic nor cognitive nor distributional — provides a satisfactory explanation for why tolerance persists in examples like the one above.  Second\, I will show that attempts to eliminate the challenge presented by these kinds of examples through appeal to a grammatical decomposition of positive form adjectives into a non-vague root and a vague “pos” morpheme are also unsatisfactory\, because they fail to generalize to other kinds of examples that manifest exactly the same behavior but cannot plausibly be analyzed in this way.  And finally\, I will outline an alternative\, pragmatic account of vagueness\, in which  application of a vague predicate constitutes a “vote” for a particular resolution of linguistic indeterminacy\, and tolerance emerges from a normative constraint treating such votes as subject to principles of social choice. This account is consistent with a transparent compositional relation between positive and comparative (in which the latter is derived from the former)\, and generalizes to non-adjectival cases of vagueness as well. \n\nLocation: Royce Hall 362
