PLC 48

Graduate students and early-career researchers in computer science, neuroscience, psychology, and related fields who have an interest in language and linguistics are invited to attend the 48th annual Penn Linguistics Conference. Hosted by the Graduate Linguistics Society of the Penn Linguistics Department, this conference provides an exceptional opportunity to present original research, connect with peers, and stay up-to-date with the latest developments in linguistics.The conference will be held in person March 16th and 17th, 2024. PLC includes talk sessions and a poster session covering a wide range of topics in linguistics such as syntax, semantics, phonology, phonetics, historical linguistics, sociolinguistics, and language processing. Additionally, PLC provides opportunities to connect with other researchers during lunch and an evening dinner reception.We welcome you to join us for two days of engaging presentations, discussions, and opportunities to connect with fellow linguistics researchers from around the world.

一、Keynote Speaker

Vera Gribanova received her PhD in Linguistics from University of California Santa Cruz in 2010, and since then has been Assistant Professor of Linguistics at Stanford University. Her research explores the principles that connect word and sentence structure to sound structure, primarily in Russian, Bulgarian and Uzbek.

Gribanova's project "Subjects and Clause Structure in Three Turkic Languages" explores the special status of the notion grammatical subject by looking at its grammatical encoding in the clause in Turkic languages, where the grammatical markers for subjecthood typical of Indo-European languages are dissociated. This investigation reinvents contemporary theories of this relation via a comparative investigation of subject case and verb agreement in several under-studied, closely related Turkic languages (Kazakh, Uzbek, and Kirghiz).
