SUMMARY:Linguistics Colloquium: Ryan Henke
DESCRIPTION:Linguistics Colloquium: Ryan Henke\, UW-Madison \n“Informing language science and revitalization: Properties of child-directed speech in Northern East Cree” \nAbstract: This presentation investigates the morphosyntactic properties of verbs from child-directed speech (CDS) in Northern East Cree\, an Indigenous Algonquian language spoken in Eeyou Istchee territory within Québec. CDS is a register of language spoken to young children\, which is crucial to how language is passed to new generations of speakers\, and therefore represents a key interest for language science and revitalization. Using video recordings from the Chisasibi Child Language Acquisition Study (mun.ca/cclas)\, I analyze speech from one adult to one child\, from approximately age two to four. Results indicate some general simplifications/modifications in verb structure but also increasing complexification as the child grows older—while context also plays a key role in determining some facets of verbal patterns. For language science\, these findings are compatible with existing cross-linguistic research and provide more information about CDS in an under-represented language. These findings also have implications for language revitalization\, answering questions directly from practitioners\, which can inform their approach in language immersion programs\, teacher training\, and resource creation for parents. \nFriday\, April 11\, 3pm\, Merrill 316

SUMMARY:Highly Irregular-Why Tough\, Through\, and Dough Don’t Rhyme and Other Oddities of the English Language
DESCRIPTION:A discussion with special guest author Arika Okrent. \nFriday\, May 10 at 3pm in Merrill 131 on UWM Campus \nArika is the author of Highly Irregular-Why Tough\, Through\, and Dough Don’t Rhyme and Other Oddities of the English Language published in 2021: English can be so illogical and frustrating. Ugh\, English\, why are you like this? Maybe you’ve resigned yourself to the idea that all we can do is shrug. That’s just how it it is. But there is an explanation\, and this book is here to help. Highly Irregular takes on the weirdness of English with clear\, playfully illustrated answers to a range of questions about its quirks. At the same time\, it’s a deeper history of English and how we made it the way it is. \nArika Okrent was born in Chicago and became fascinated with languages at an early age. She flitted from language to language in school\, wondering why she couldn’t just settle down and commit to one\, until she finally discovered a field that would support and encourage her scandalous behavior: Linguistics. After some lengthy affairs with Hungarian (she taught in Hungary after college) and American Sign Language (she earned an M.A. in Linguistics from Gallaudet\, the world’s only university for the Deaf)\, she began a Ph.D. program at the University of Chicago\, where she fell hard for Psycholinguistics. She first worked in a gesture research lab\, and later took up with a brain research lab\, where she conducted the experiments that would earn her a degree in 2004. By that time she had begun to spend long afternoons with the languages that even linguists think they’re too good for — the artificial languages\, losers like Esperanto and Klingon. Initial feelings of pity and revulsion gave way to fascination and affection\, and she embarked on a whirlwind romance with the history of invented languages. The love child of this passion is her 2009 book In the Land of Invented Languages. \nRead more about Arika at http://arikaokrent.com/bio/
