Language Variation and Change Publication!

Pocholo Umbal (PhD Candidate) and Naomi Nagy (Faculty)  have published "Heritage Tagalog Phonology and a Variationist Framework of Language Contact" in the journal Languages

Umbal and Nagy examine Tagalog of Heritage speakers in Toronto and homeland speakers in Manila. They analyze intergenerational and intergroup usages of (r), alternation among taps, trills and approximant variants. They use this as a test case for a method of distinguishing sources of language change.
