A milestone for the HLVC project!

On Friday, September 14, former visiting scholar Holman Tse (University of Pittsburgh) successfully defended his doctoral dissertation, "Beyond the monolingual core and out into the wild: A variationist study of early bilingualism and sound change in Toronto Heritage Cantonese". His project - the first dissertation to be based on data from the Heritage Language Variation and Change project - is a landmark! Naomi Nagy (faculty) served on Holman's committee along with University of Pittsburgh faculty members Scott Kiesling (supervisor), Shelome Gooden, and Alan Juffs.

Congratulations to Dr. Tse and to everyone who has been working on HLVC!
