| Edward Flemming | Colloquium | 11/09/2007 - 3:30pm | Phonetics, phonology. From MIT. Location: SAC 304 The role of distinctiveness constraints in phonology Distinctiveness constraints favor maximization of the perceptual differences between contrasting sounds - less distinct contrasts incur more severe constraint violations. Perceptually indistinct contrasts are disfavored because they increase the likelihood of confusion on the part of listeners. |

| Edith Aldridge | Colloquium | 04/20/2007 - 3:30pm | Syntax. From Northwestern University. Location: SAC 311. Wh-questions in the Pseudo-Chinese of Old Japanese In this talk, I use data from the 8th century texts Kojiki and Manyoshu to argue that old Japanese had short wh-movement to a clause-internal focus position. This proposal stands in contrast to earlier claims made by Akira Watanabe that this movement targeted a position in the C domain. Additionally, I hope to show that the pseudo-Chinese language of the Kojiki can in fact be used in an analysis of Japanese syntax. |
