SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Linguistics Colloquium
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a colloquium presented by Meredith Tamminga (University of Pennsylvania) in NQ2435 on Friday\, April 3\, 2026\, from 4-5:30 PM!\n\nTitle: Sociostylistic variation and the recognition of spoken complex words\nAbstract: Variation in word form is a major challenge for models of spoken word recognition. In this talk I present a series of primed lexical decision experiments about how listeners recognize English words containing the sociostylistic variable ING (e.g.\, workin’ ~ working). First\, we cross the two variants in an affix priming design (e.g.\, jumpin’/jumping > thinkin’/thinking). We find that both -ing and -in’ variants robustly facilitate themselves and each other: jumpin’ does indeed facilitate both thinkin’ and thinking\, as does jumping. The strongest facilitation arises when both prime and target contain -in’\, but we do not detect differences in facilitation strength between the other three conditions\, contra the predictions of accounts rooted in prime/target similarity or prime canonicality. The extra boost in the -in’ > -in’ condition is lost when an unrelated trial intervenes between prime and target\, whereas general affix facilitation remains robust. We then move away from the affix priming design to show that when the prime is a monomorphemic noun containing ING (e.g.\, awning) and the target is a progressive verb\, then e.g. awnin’ facilitates thinkin’ but awning does not facilitate thinking. This asymmetry is not simply a property of the surface phonological strings: we do not find facilitation from e.g. dolphin to thinkin’. Finally\, to disambiguate between phonological derivation and stylistic incongruency as possible sources of the -in’ asymmetries\, we repeat the first experiment with Southern-accented stimuli intended to improve the expectedness of the -in’ variant in the experimental context. Under these conditions\, we no longer find significant evidence for the -in’ boost\, suggesting that listeners’ sociostylistic expectations modulate the priming effects. I discuss the implications for the grammatical locus of ING variation\, for how we study sociolinguistic variation in the lab\, and for the incorporation of variation into models of spoken word recognition.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Topology seminar: Spinal open books\, Symplectic Fillability\, and Positivity in the Framed Mapping Class Group
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: The Giroux correspondence allows us to understand contact structures on 3-manifolds through open book decompositions\, which is the data of an oriented surface with boundary and a mapping class that is identity near the boundary. Various monoids inside this mapping class group have been shown to correspond to geometric properties of the corresponding contact structures\, such as Stein Fillability\, Strong Fillability\, Weak Fillability\, Tightness etc. In the case of open books with planar (genus zero) pages\, Fillability of the underlying contact manifold was shown by Wendl to correspond to the existence of positive factorizations of the mapping class -- this is not true in higher genus. In recent work\, extending results of Lisi -- Van Horn-Morris -- Wendl\, we showed that using Spinal open books\, fillability of a contact 3-manifold can be interpreted as the existence of positive 'admissible' factorizations of a mapping class in the framed mapping class group of a planar surface. Using this\, we have recovered and improved existing fillability results on some torus bundles and surgeries on torus knots\, as well as classified the fillings of these manifolds. These are joint works with Hyunki Min and Luya Wang. The talk will introduce the notions of spinal open books and positive admissible factorizations\, and hopefully provide some insight into the four-dimensional workings that lead to the results.
