This past weekend McGill linguistics hosted the first joint meeting of the MOTH and MOLT regional syntax and phonology workshops, with a keynote talk by Glyne Piggott. Thanks to hard work by undergraduate and graduate student volunteers, everything went off without a hitch. Talks by locals included:
- Elise Mcclay & Michael Wagner
Accented unambiguous English pronouns: Parallel function, or topicality and focus? - Michael David Hamilton
The prosody and syntax of focus in Mi’gmaq - Guilherme Garcia
Weight and stress in Brazilian Portuguese - Oriana Kilbourn-Ceron
Vowel devoicing in spontaneous Japanese - Morgan Sonderegger and James Kirby
Actuation without production bias - Michael David Hamilton and Brandon J
Fry

agreement in Algonquian
