Reflexives interact with the argument structure and can saturate A-positions across languages (Faltz 2016, B\u00fcring 2005). However, it is also cross-linguistic common for the same anaphors in some languages also mark a relation that does not alter the argument structure while still maintaining a co-referential relationship with an argument (Dechaume & Wiltschko 2017 i.a.), also known as an emphatic marker (e.g. \u201cI tied my shoelaces myself.\u201d). Using data from both spoken and signed languages, this talk presents an analysis of both the event and information structural role of anaphors, and why the functions go together. \r\n\r\n\r\nYu-Chuan Lucy Chiang\r\nPhD Candidate - Department of Linguistics \r\n\r\nTitle: Acquisition of light verb syntax by Mandarin Bilinguals \r\n\r\nAbstract: This talk discusses the acquisition of the syntax of so-called light verb constructions in Mandarin by adult English-Mandarin heritage bilinguals and adult L2 Mandarinspeakers. Light verbs contribute limited semantic content in the verb phrases they form with dependent nouns in Mandarin (Huang 2015; Lin 2014). Questions arise as to how the verb phrase da dianhua \u2018(tele)phone\/call (someone)\u2019 can be formed in parallel to the lexical meaning \u2018hit (the) telephone\u2019. Some syntactic structures can be used to distinguish the two meanings, such as passives and topicalization. Since these structures involve complex syntax and semantics properties, the acquisition of light verbs raises some interesting questions about bilinguals. An online acceptability judgment experiment via PCIbex was conducted to address such questions. Based on the results, Mandarin-English bilinguals\u2019 judgments on light verbs showed distinct patterns, suggesting that the grammar of Mandarin light verbs differs among the three groups of speakers.\r\n\r\nThis event will be hybrid, as well as zoom https:\/\/umich.zoom.us\/j\/91857099548.", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"109136-21821115@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/109136", "building_id":"1000191", "building_name":"Michigan League", "campus_maps_id":"108", "room":"Henderson", "location_name":"Michigan League", "has_livestream":1, "livestream_type":"zoom", "livetream_require_login":0, "livestream_id":"91857099548", "livestream_link":"https:\/\/umich.zoom.us\/j\/91857099548", "cost":"", "tags":["Free","Graduate Students","Talk"], "website":"", "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"Department of Linguistics", "group_id":"3480", "website":"" } ], "image_url":"", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"", "event_large":"", "event_large_2x":"", "event_large_lightbox":"", "group_thumb":"", "group_thumb_square":"", "group_large":"", "group_large_lightbox":"", "event_large_crop":"", "event_list":"", "event_list_2x":"", "event_grid":"", "event_grid_2x":"", "event_feature_large":"", "event_feature_thumb":"" }, "occurrence_count":1, "first_occurrence":21821115 } , "115192-21834161": { "datetime_modified":"20231113T134001", "datetime_start":"20231201T160000", "datetime_end":"20231201T170000", "has_end_time":1, "date_start":"2023-12-01", "date_end":"2023-12-01", "time_start":"16:00:00", "time_end":"17:00:00", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"Michigan Lectures in Algebraic Geometry: New perspectives on the topology of algebraic maps III", "occurrence_title":"", "combined_title":"Michigan Lectures in Algebraic Geometry: New perspectives on the topology of algebraic maps III: Junliang Shen (Yale)", "event_subtitle":"Junliang Shen (Yale)", "event_type":"Workshop \/ Seminar", "event_type_id":"21", "description":"Given a proper algebraic map f : X--> Y, the decomposition theorem of Beilinson, Bernstein, Deligne, and Gabber provides powerful tools to the study of its topology.

In recent years, the decomposition theorem and the induced perverse filtration have been found to share surprising connections to other branches of mathematics; these include non-abelian Hodge theory (the P=W conjecture), enumerative geometry (Donaldson-Thomas and BPS invariants), planar singularities (DAHA, knot invariants), and hyper-K\u00e4hler geometries (Hodge modules, motivic techniques).

This remains to be a fundamental difficulty in most modeling and simulation applications. There are many uncertainty classification systems which occur in modeling and simulation, most practical uncertainty frameworks are discipline-specific or model-specific. These classification systems define categories of uncertainties which need to be considered for a specific model or application. Such uncertainty frameworks cannot be proved to be complete, and certainly are not universal. To develop a complete set of errors associated with modeling and simulation, it is necessary to define every error that could affect the accuracy of computational model\u2019s prediction of a real-world system regardless of the model, discipline, or application, i.e., a theoretically complete set of errors. The presentation will show three main types of uncertainty frameworks, including a theoretically complete set of errors that, if accounted for, would result in the correct prediction of reality. The presented theoretically complete set of errors is a set of thirteen distinct difference terms, which are closely related to current practices in verification, validation, and uncertainty quantification. It can be easily shown that these thirteen errors represent a theoretically complete set of errors.\r\n\r\nDr. Tomasz Kozlowski is an Associate Professor in the Department of Nuclear, Plasma, and Radiological Engineering at University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign.
