Meeting Description: 

We’re looking forward to co-hosting Toon Taaks on 27 July. It’s a free online
linguistics conference organised by students and staff at Northumbria and
Newcastle universities which is aimed at advanced undergraduate and
postgraduate linguistics students.

This is a smaller event than the usual annual conference which had to be
postponed last year.

 

Program Information: 

The event is on Tuesday, 27 July, running from 9am to 3.15pm UK time.

The event is free but you need to register here: https://tinyurl.com/2wec5fst

There will be five peer-reviewed talks by postgraduate students in the morning
session and a keynote in the afternoon at 2-3.15pm.

The keynote speaker is Amanda Owen van Horne (University of Delaware) and her
topic is:

“Exemplar Theory or Variability? The role of the verb and verb bias in the
treatment of children with Developmental Language Disorder”

Here is a list of the presentations that will be delivered during the morning:

9:30 am: Using interlingual homophones to explore Chinese-English bilingual
lexical activation. (Siyu Chen, Greenwich University UK, Laurence White,
University of Bristol UK, María Arche, Greenwich University UK, Claire Monks,
Greenwich University UK)

10:00 am: To be or not to be bilingual? That is the question. (Esther Mediero,
Greenwich University UK)

10:30 am: Demonstrative Constructions in Ethiopian Oromo (Wakweya Gobena,
Addis Ababa University, Ethiopia)

11:00 am: Media, Monarchy & The Discursive Construction of Hegemonic Tolerance
(Sonny Osman, Manchester Metropolitan University, UK)

11:30 am: Conditional backshift: against the view that the verb forms in
‘remote’, ‘subjunctive’ or ‘2nd and 3rd’ conditionals encode or implicate
improbability, negative epistemic stance or counterfactuality. (Cris
Chatterjee, Northumbria University, UK)
