18 p, 432.9 KB Standing on the shoulders of giants : quantitative approaches to the identification of community norms in code-switching / Deuchar, Margaret (University of Cambridge (Regne Unit))
In this paper I explore how collaborative work conducted with colleagues has built on previous work to arrive at an enhanced understanding not only of what code-switching is, but also how norms for its use can vary from community to community. [...]

32 p, 1.7 MB Duration as a secondary cue in Spanish rhotics : sliding to understand perceptual categorization among heritage and L2 learners of Spanish / Garza, Rachel Sangster (Sul Ross State University (Estats Units d'Amèrica)) ; Willis, Erik (Indiana University)
This study investigates language learners' attention to segmental duration when perceiving the Spanish tap-trill contrast. Previous research has demonstrated that native speakers (NSs), heritage language learners (HLLs), and second language (L2) learners maintain distinct segmental durations when maintaining the tap-trill contrast (e.

Null and pronominal direct objects have been extensively studied in both European Portuguese (EP) and Brazilian Portuguese (BP). We aim to characterize the properties and distribution of null/pronominal objects in STP, by comparing them with those of EP/BP. [...]

In this paper, we investigate the prosody of wh-questions with a complex wh-phrase, focusing on the role of the presence of a lexical restriction (e. g. , what book) and of D(iscourse)-linking of the wh-phrase in the distribution of the main prosodic prominence (or nuclear pitch accent [NPA]).

45 p, 563.6 KB Interpretable everywhere : hybrid agreement in Brazilian Portuguese / Varaschin, Giuseppe (Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin (Alemanya)) ; Machicao y Priemer, Antonio (Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin (Alemanya))
The goal of this paper is to account for the variable agreement properties of the 1PL pronoun a gente in Brazilian Portuguese. We argue that previous approaches make wrong predictions about how different types of agreement with a gente work in different environments (Costa & Pereira 2013; Taylor 2009, i. [...]

33 p, 569.8 KB On low verbal negation in Brazilian Portuguese / Cyrino, Sonia (Universidade Estadual de Campinas)
In this paper, I discuss a new construction in Brazilian Portuguese, whereby the negative marker não 'not', which is syncretic with other types of negation in the language, appears in the slot [Aux_V] in periphrases, a position that is not common in other Romance languages. [...]
