What Translanguaging Can Tell Us About Bilingual Language Control: Evidence from Spontaneous Codeswitching

This statement was sent to language science community members in October 2020, based on discussions among members of the LSC Executive Committee. Although it was prompted by the anti-Black violence and subsequent Black Lives Matter protests in summer 2020, it focuses on diversity and inclusion issues affecting the language science community at UMD.

- Members of the LSC Executive Committee: Colin Phillips, Caitlin Eaves, Shevaun Lewis, Tess Wood, Jordan Boyd-Graber, Jan Edwards, Jeff Lidz, Rochelle Newman, Maria Polinsky

Join us for a quick social break! We particularly encourage those who are new to UMD to come meet language scientists from different departments. This week we'll have two (optional) special interest rooms: SECOND LANGUAGE LEARNING AND TEACHING, and MEANING IN CONTEXT.

 

Learn techniques for editing your own writing and strategies for providing useful feedback on others' writing. (Led by Shevaun Lewis.)

The world is changing, and we’re all trying to adapt to survive, even thrive, in the new normal. This is the first of three messages about how LSC aims to support a community that is pandemic-proof, anti-racist, and sustainable over the next 2 years or so. This one is about the pandemic.

Join us for a panel discussion with researchers who transitioned their lab-based research online over the summer.

Arynn Byrd (HESP) is using a web app to remotely administer a sentence-picture matching task with children. The goal of the study is to evaluate if there are differences in how children who speak different dialects use verb knowledge to disambiguate the sentence. Her web app displays pictures, plays audio, and gathers reaction times and accuracy using the child's tablet.
