The 2024 Annual Meeting of the Linguistic Society of America included its traditional Five Minute Linguist event, where linguists make brief presentations of their research intended to be engaging for a general audience. This year there were both video submissions and in-person talks, and the winning in-person talk was by our department’s Kie Zuraw, on joint work with Paolo Roca, “What songs can tell us about language: rhythms in Filipino pop music”. You can view a screencast version of the talk here on the LSA’s Youtube channel.
The UCLA Linguistics Department’s normal business hours are Monday-Friday, 8am-5pm. Office schedule and availability may change based on staff availability. For questions or assistance, please contact linguist@humnet.ucla.edu or (310) 825-0634.
NOTE: The main office will be closed, and all staff will work remotely, until Friday, January 17, 2025. Further announcements will be made based on the Chancellor’s recommendations.
