Linguistics faculty present at Language Change workshop
Carmel O’Shannessey and Sally Thomason attended the “Variations et changements morphosyntaxiques en situation de contacts de langues” workshop in Paris, Sept. 20-25.
Carmel presented “The emergence of a new mixed language in Australia”
and as reported by an unbiased and anonymous observer, “…if the workshop attendees had voted on which data-rich paper had the clearest and most elegant presentation of data and analyses, Carmel’s would have won hands down.”
Sally presented “On internally- and externally-motivated morphosyntactic change in contact situations (and how to tell which is which)”
