Workshop on Speech and Attitude Reports in Brazilian Languages

LFollowing their organization of the workshop on Complex Structures in Brazilian Languages at ABRALIN in May, Suzi Lima (faculty), Tonjes Veenstra (Zentrum für Allgemeine Sprachwissenschaft), and Hein van der Voort (Museu Paraense Emílio Goeldi) joined forces on a second workshop: Speech and Attitude Reports in Brazilian Languages.

• Suzi herself presented: "Quotatives in Yudja."
• Guillaume Thomas (faculty) presented: "The landscape of attitude reports in Mbya."
• A talk on quotatives in Ye'kwana and Taurepang included two of the undergraduate students from the U of T who took part in Suzi's REP course over the summer - Octavia Andrade-Dixon (BA) and Guilherme Akio Teruya (BA) - as well as Suzi and the local professor who helped organize the REP course, Isabella Coutinho Costa.
