Taking a Critical Look at Phonological Gender Assignment<\/strong><\/p>\n

Classic typological research has identified several different ways to assign grammatical gender. For example, gender can be assigned semantically (e.g., depending on animacy), morphologically (e.g., depending on the presence of a specific suffix), or phonologically (e.g., depending on the final segment of the noun).\u00a0 In this talk, I take a critical look at the last member of this list: phonological gender assignment. Phonological gender assignment is predicted to be impossible in a theory that assumes the syntax does not access or contain phonological information, e.g., Distributed Morphology.\u00a0 Therefore, if phonological gender assignment is attested, it constitutes serious evidence against this kind of theory.\u00a0 I present two case studies of languages that have been claimed to have phonological gender assignment: Hausa (Chadic) and Gu\u00e9bie (Kru).\u00a0 For both languages, I argue that phonological gender assignment is\u00a0not<\/strong>\u00a0necessary to describe the gender system and, more importantly, that a phonological gender assignment analysis is less explanatory than alternative approaches (it misses generalizations, makes typologically-unexpected predictions, and cannot extend to related phenomena). Overall, then, the initial results from Hausa and Gu\u00e9bie\u00a0suggest that phonological gender assignment does not exist,\u00a0which is significant support for Distributed Morphology. I close the talk with plans for future work to investigate additional languages with (alleged) phonological gender assignment.<\/p>\n

Time to give up the ‘native monolingual standard’ in research on<\/strong> bilingualism?<\/strong>
\nThe effects of bilingualism (both \u2018advantages or\u00a0\u2018disadvantages\u2019) are always defined with respect to native monolingual standards. \u00a0However, \u00a0real monolingualism is becoming rarer in our communities: more people learn other languages or are simply exposed to multilingualism in society. In addition, research has shown that the first language changes in selective and predictable ways upon exposure to a second language, which provides strong arguments against the implicitly held view that bilinguals are (or should behave like) two monolinguals in one.\u00a0Understanding the new emerging picture requires an interdisciplinary effort that combines the strengths of both linguistic and cognitive models and redefines the standards of comparison in bilingualism research.<\/p>\n

Explaining microvariation through exponency: Middles and passives in Mainland Scandinavian
\n<\/strong>Exo-skeletal approaches to morphosyntax over the past two decades have provided a concise and systematic way to explain cross-linguistic parametric variation. This presentation builds on this tradition by taking a look at (micro)variation across two closely related languages (e.g., Norwegian and Swedish) in a specific domain of grammar; namely, in middles and passives. Following F\u00e1bregas & Putnam (2020), in this exo-skeletal approach we introduce exponents as the fundamental units of computation that serve as an intermediary between operations in the narrow syntax and their linkage with vocabulary items at the PF-interface. Through our analysis of middles and passives in Mainland Scandinavian, we highlight some of the unique facets of our exo-skeletal approach (such as the lack of reliance on different ‘flavors’ of Voice-heads) and point to areas of future research.<\/p>\n
