Stanford Linguists at Berkeley Linguistics Society

The Big Game might be over, but that doesn't mean we don't roll out with Stanford spirit!

Five Stanford linguists will be representing the Cardinal at the 42nd Annual Meeting of the Berkeley Linguistics Society this weekend:

• Meghan Sumner will be delivering a plenary talk: "The benefit of idealized word pronunciations: How are forms we rarely hear, understood so easily?"

• James Collins will present "Word order and definiteness in Tagalog"
• Judith Tonhauser (alum) will present "Speaker commitment in English and Paraguayan Guaraní attitude reports"
• and Ashwini Deo (alum) will co-present "The structured individual hypothesis for processing aspectual verbs"
