Awesomeness
As usual, Berkeley rules at the North East Linguistic Society. Five abstracts from five Berkeley linguists were accepted for NELS 47, at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, October 14-16:
- Emily Clem, "Two types of binding: Evidence from Tswefap pronominals"
- Virginia Dawson, "Optimal clitic placement in Tiwa"
- Amy Rose Deal, "Covert hyperraising to object"
- Hannah Sande, "Process morphology in a realizational theory"
- Hannah Sande and Peter Jenks, "Case and Caselessness in Moro"
Congratulations to all! After your presentations, your respective audiences will surely be able to say, with Lydgate, "Thy problem fully is exponed" (Siege of Thebes 736).
