  1. Defying the Standard: Resumptive Pronouns and Prepositional Phrase Chopping in Oblique Spanish Relative Clauses. Alvaro Cerron-Palomino, Arizona State University

    This variationist quantitative study aims at explaining the alternation between Resumptive Pronouns (RPs) and Prepositional Phrase (PP) Chopping in Spanish oblique Relative Clauses. The results show that RPs are favored by animate antecedents, whereas PP-chopping is favored by inanimate antecedents.

  2. The Mysterious WHEN. Lin Lin, University of California, Los Angeles

    The English word “when” has three cognates in German, namely wenn, als and wann. Traditional grammars have treated this problem with plenty of rules, whereas they signal different levels of the cognitive underlying basis of CERTAINTY.

  3. Going Beyond the Linguistics Classroom: Fostering Collaborative Learning and Cultural Competence on a Service-Learning Platform. Eva Rodríguez-González, Miami University, Ohio

    The present study investigates the impact of Service-Learning on academic performance on a Linguistics course. Results from a post-implementation survey show that students gained further understanding of course content, a broader appreciation of Linguistics and civic engagement.
