Meeting Description:

The organizers of OSUCHiLL are excited to welcome as keynote speakers:  

Dr. Daniel G. Erker (Boston University) is an Assistant Professor of
Spanish and Linguistics at Boston University. His research interests include
language variation, contact, and change, acoustic and articulatory phonetics,
Spanish in the United States, the languages of Latin America, and the
evolution of human language. Dr. Erker is the director the Spanish in Boston
Project, which aims to describe and understand how Spanish is used in the
Greater Boston Area.  

Dr. Ashwini Deo (The Ohio State University) is an Assistant Professor of
Linguistics at the Ohio State University.  Ashwini Deo received Masters
degrees in Sanskrit Grammar and Linguistics from Pune, India followed by a PhD
in Linguistics from Stanford University in 2006. She taught at
Yale University previously and joined Ohio State University in 2016. Her main
research interest is in systematic semantic change phenomena — particularly in
the ways in which functional morphemes like tense-aspect, negation, possession
markers change over time. Within semantics-pragmatics she also works on
phenomena in the domains of aspect, temporal reference, lexical semantics of
verbs, and genericity. Her empirical focus is on the Indo-Aryan languages,
which are spoken in much of South Asia, and which provide us with a diachronic
linguistic record of over 3000 years.

Conference organizers: Elena Jaime Jiménez and Kendra V. Dickinson 
Conference Location: The Ohio State University, Department of Spanish and
Portuguese
