Gustavo gets 3-year post-doc at prestigious research center in Norway!
After finishing his teaching fellowship at Newcastle Univ. in the UK, lab alum Gustavo Guajardo (Ph.D., 2017) has been named a Postdoctoral Fellow in Linguistics at LAVA, the Language Acquisition, Variation, and Attrition research group at the University of Tromsø, and at AcqVA, the Acquisition, Variation, and Attrition research group sponsored by the Norwegian University of Science and Technology and the University of Tromsø. He will be based in Tromsø and will be working on his own project: Effects of Language Contact and Literacy in Language Variation and Change.
LSA session on cross-linguistic variation in island violations
Lab alum Savi Namboodiripad was one of the organizers of an LSA session in New York on cross-linguistic variation in island violations. Savi was also one of the "datablitz" presenters (on adjunct island violations in Malayalam), and Grant gave a wrap-up presentation at the end of the session ("Predicting the severity of island violations across languages: Some first steps").
Gustavo presents work on Concordantia Temporum in UK and Netherlands
Gustavo Guajardo and Grant Goodall presented two related papers recently:
- "An Experimental Approach to Concordantia Temporum Violations in Spanish" at the Linguistic Association of Great Britain (http://www.lagb.org.uk/resources/Documents/Guajardo_Goodall.pdf)
- "What can experimental syntax tell us about Concordantia Temporum in Spanish?" at the Going Romance conference in Utrecht (https://going-romance.wp.hum.uu.nl/utrecht-2018/programme-of-the-great-workshop/).
