Language Diversity
How a dialect-shifting curriculum shapes K-1 teachers’ attitudes toward language variation: A mixed-methods study
Island effects and their absence with multiple questions in Bulgarian
Abstract: Grammars exhibit island effects. That is to say, the linguistic knowledge a speaker has prevents them from forming questions in certain environments. For example, the string "Who did you meet the professor that taught?" cannot be used to ask who is the person such that you met the professor who taught that person. In this talk, I report experimental evidence concerning the possible obviation of island effects in Bulgarian with multiple questions.
