Three Carleton students will present their original research at the Third Annual Minnesota Student Workshop on Linguistics (MNSWOL 3) at the University of Minnesota, 7-8 May, 2010. Graduate and undergraduate students from Minnesota and beyond will convene at the workshop to share their research.
Alison Wechsler (Linguistics, ’11), Emily Barter (Linguistics, ’10), and Julia Clark (Linguistics, ’10) will each present a paper at the workshop. All three papers developed from research projects the students conducted in Winter 2010, as participants in Linguistics 217, Phonetics and Phonology, under the direction of Professor Cherlon Ussery.
Alison’s talk, ‘OT Learning Algorithms: An Argument for Gradual Learning’, is Saturday, 8 May, at 1:30 pm.
Emily’s talk, ‘Dangerous Liaisons and Glottal Stop Epenthesis’, is Saturday, 8 May, at 2:15 pm.
Julia’s talk, ‘Dialectal Variations in the Syllable Structure of Japanese: An OT Analysis’, is Saturday, 8 May, at 2:45 pm.
