Meeting Description:

The Faculty of Languages and Linguistics at Georgetown University are pleased to

Linguistics (GURT 2007) will focus on little words—items such as clitics,
pronouns, determiners, conjunctions, discourse particles, auxiliary/light
verbs, prepositions—including their phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics,
pragmatics, discourse function, historical development, variation, and
acquisition (by children or adults). GURT 2007 will host plenary lectures,
colloquia, individual papers, and poster presentations. 

The uses of ''voseo'' (use the pronoun ''vos'' instead of ''tu'' as second
person singular) in Chile and the South Cono. This will be a historical as well
as morphological study of the ''voseo'' pronominal and verbal.
