GLOW 36

Several members of our department are travelling to Lund, Sweden to present at the 36th GLOW (Generative Linguistics in the Old World) colloquium, which takes place April 2-6 this year.

During the main colloquium, Christopher Spahr will be presenting "A contrastive hierarchical account of positional neutralization", and Bronwyn Bjorkman will be presenting "Accounting for the absence of coreferential subjects in TP coordination".

Will Oxford is giving a talk entitled "'Same', 'different', 'other', and the historical microsyntax of the Degree Phrase", and Elizabeth Cowper and Daniel Currie-Hall (Saint Mary's University) will be presenting "A neoparametric approach to variation and change in English modals" in the Syntactic Variation and Change workshop.

In the Diachronic Workings in Phonological Patterns workshop, Elan Dresher, Christopher Harvey, and Will Oxford will be presenting "Synchronic systems in diachronic change: The role of Contrast".

Regular members of our Syntax project will also be presenting at GLOW. Ivona Kucerova (McMaster) will be presenting her poster on "Long-Distance Agreement in Icelandic revisited: An interplay of locality and semantics", and Gabriela Alboiu (York) will be giving a talk on "Raising to Object from finite CPs: dual A/A-bar and MCC", a paper co-authored with Virginia Hill (New Brunswick–Saint John).
