Location: Lorch Hall
Organized By: Department of Linguistics

Marlyse Baptista, Uriel Weinreich Collegiate Professor of Linguistics, will give a talk on "Convergence, Divergence and Innovation in Language Contact: A View from Creole Genesis."

ABSTRACT
From the early years of Contact Linguistics (Schuchardt, 1882), linguists have noted that when two or more languages come into contact, whether it is in the context of L2 acquisition (Ellis & Sagarra, 2011;Tolentino, L. C., & N. Tokowicz, 2014), bilingualism (Silva-Corvalán, 1994; Toribio, 2004), trilingualism (Rothman, 2010, 2015; Rothman & Cabrelli Amaro, 2010; Rothman et al., 2015) or multilingualism leading to language creation (Rougé, 1986; Kihm, 1990; Corne, 1999), it is often (but not always!) the case that the features that the languages in contact have in common promote acquisition or language creation. More precisely, the phonemes, morphemes, lexemes or syntactic structures that speakers perceive as being similar in the languages in contact, what we will call here, congruent features or domains, are likely to be acquired more easily in L2 (or L3/L4...) or are more likely to contribute to the grammatical make-up (and lexicon) of the emerging language in the case of creole genesis.

This paper represents a first step in a long-term research program exploring how new languages emerge in a multilingual setting. It examines the role of convergence in Creole formation and development, using a competition and selection framework. Specifically, it illustrates how morphosyntactic and semantic features are more likely to be selected into the grammatical makeup of a given Creole when they preexist and are shared by some of the source languages present in its linguistic ecology. This is empirically supported in this paper by numerous case studies and a survey of congruent features in 20 contact languages across 19 grammatical and lexical domains. In order to show how convergence operates, I propose an algorithm and a model of matter and pattern mapping, adapted to the multilingual setting in which Creole languages emerge. In addition to a set of variables, the model includes both the linguistic ecology (linguistic factors) and speakers' attitudes (non-linguistic factors) (Thomason, 2001) to predict (in a non-deterministic fashion) the features that are more likely to win within a competition and selection framework (Mufwene, 2001). It shows that even when a given feature is traceable to two or more sources, it readily diverges from the original sources and is innovative. The paper also explores cases where convergence does not take place and examines the conditions underlying such outcome.

ALL UCLL EVENTS HAVE BEEN POSTPONED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE.

Are you looking to increase confidence in your use of American English? The University Center for Language and Literacy (UCLL) at U-M offers a special workshop designed for non-native English speakers who want to expand their communication skills. Our program provides the perfect environment for you to reach your personal goals and we’re registering now!

Our certified Speech and Language Pathologists use techniques technically known as accent reduction to help non-native speakers feel more at home in their communications — whether that’s giving a presentation or taking notes in a class with a native speaker with a fast cadence. The goal of the program is certainly not to eliminate the accents of our clients, but to enhance communication skills for greater confidence in all settings. Participants will set their own individual objectives at the start of the workshop and will work to reach those goals using a combination of small group activities and one-on-one interaction, facilitated by a Speech and Language Pathologist.
The workshop will run from February 5 to April 15, 2020. Participants meet weekly on Wednesdays from 3:30-4:30 p.m. There will be no meeting on March 4.
If you have questions, need assistance, or want more information, please call (734) 764-8440 or visit https://mari.umich.edu/ucll

Location: Lorch Hall
Organized By: Department of Linguistics

Marlyse Baptista, Uriel Weinreich Collegiate Professor of Linguistics, will give a talk on "Convergence, Divergence and Innovation in Language Contact: A View from Creole Genesis."

ABSTRACT
From the early years of Contact Linguistics (Schuchardt, 1882), linguists have noted that when two or more languages come into contact, whether it is in the context of L2 acquisition (Ellis & Sagarra, 2011;Tolentino, L. C., & N. Tokowicz, 2014), bilingualism (Silva-Corvalán, 1994; Toribio, 2004), trilingualism (Rothman, 2010, 2015; Rothman & Cabrelli Amaro, 2010; Rothman et al., 2015) or multilingualism leading to language creation (Rougé, 1986; Kihm, 1990; Corne, 1999), it is often (but not always!) the case that the features that the languages in contact have in common promote acquisition or language creation. More precisely, the phonemes, morphemes, lexemes or syntactic structures that speakers perceive as being similar in the languages in contact, what we will call here, congruent features or domains, are likely to be acquired more easily in L2 (or L3/L4...) or are more likely to contribute to the grammatical make-up (and lexicon) of the emerging language in the case of creole genesis.

This paper represents a first step in a long-term research program exploring how new languages emerge in a multilingual setting. It examines the role of convergence in Creole formation and development, using a competition and selection framework. Specifically, it illustrates how morphosyntactic and semantic features are more likely to be selected into the grammatical makeup of a given Creole when they preexist and are shared by some of the source languages present in its linguistic ecology. This is empirically supported in this paper by numerous case studies and a survey of congruent features in 20 contact languages across 19 grammatical and lexical domains. In order to show how convergence operates, I propose an algorithm and a model of matter and pattern mapping, adapted to the multilingual setting in which Creole languages emerge. In addition to a set of variables, the model includes both the linguistic ecology (linguistic factors) and speakers' attitudes (non-linguistic factors) (Thomason, 2001) to predict (in a non-deterministic fashion) the features that are more likely to win within a competition and selection framework (Mufwene, 2001). It shows that even when a given feature is traceable to two or more sources, it readily diverges from the original sources and is innovative. The paper also explores cases where convergence does not take place and examines the conditions underlying such outcome.

Although the overwhelming majority of Egyptian Jewry left the country in waves from 1948 to 1967, their presence continues to be noticeable in Egyptian culture. During the second half of the twentieth century, unfavorable portrayals of Jews appeared in a period of time marked by turmoil and conflict between Egypt and the nascent state of Israel. Representations of Jews in contemporary Egyptian literary works, however, mark a shift from portrayals influenced by the Arab-Israeli conflict which internalized negative Jewish stereotypes. Twenty-first century novelistic productions, however, invoked Jewish portrayals to shape Egypt as a multiethnic and multicultural society of which Jews were an integral part.

When you are writing or are in the middle of a conversation in English, do you ever find it challenging to find the right words to communicate exactly what you want to say? Do you ever wonder if your wording “sounds right” when you are writing an important paper? If your answer is “yes” to either question, then this workshop is for you. We’ll look at free, powerful websites where you can investigate useful word patterns and explore how certain words and phrases are most commonly used in academic language. We will also try out alternative word choices to help you expand your flexibility speaking and writing English.

Please bring: 1. A laptop if you can; 2. An idea for a speaking situation you might find challenging; and 3. Something you’ve written that you’d like to review for wording options.

ABSTRACT

Although institutions of higher education increasingly recognize the imperative of fostering diversity, equity, inclusion and access, language and linguistic diversity are rarely part of institutional efforts toward greater justice. Further, despite many different kinds of efforts, linguists have not been as successful as we might hope in advocating for the centrality of language within the imperative toward inclusion and justice. Yet, part of diversity is linguistic diversity; part of equity is linguistic equity; part of inclusion is linguistic inclusion; and part of access is linguistic access.

In this talk, I’ll explore some of the ways that linguists can have more success in our efforts to enhance linguistic justice through embracing and engaging with ongoing as well as emerging shifts in the discipline. By framing linguistic inclusion in the context of standardized language privilege, I present what we know about linguistic discrimination, pinpoint the linguistic stakes of efforts towards inclusion, highlight some flashpoints that occur in public discussions about language such as with pronouns and political correctness, and offer some concrete steps that we as linguists can take to effectively advocate for the importance of language at all levels of intervention linked to greater equity and justice.

CLIFF is an annual conference organized by graduate students in Comparative Literature. This year’s conference theme, “(Counter)Narratives of Migration,” stems from the current migration crises around the globe, but is not restricted to the present moment. Our conference seeks to interrogate the narrativization, visibility, and media surrounding the movement of bodies, ideas and material objects across concrete and abstract boundaries. We will explore circulation in all its forms, through its various manifestations in the arts, critical theory, and new media.

We are very pleased to announce that this year's keynote speaker will be Ariella Azoulay, Professor of Comparative Literature and filmmaker and art curator, currently teaching at Brown University. Azoulay’s work explores visual culture, offering an in-depth critique of contemporary forms of violence, imperialism and body politics. Her films, exhibitions and scholarship address gendered and racial violence, the Israel-Palestine conflict, civil engagement and human rights. We will be screening her film "Un-documented--Unlearning Imperial Plunder" at 4:30 on Friday March 13th at Palmer, Great Lakes South.

As part of the conference, we will also host a graduate student creative reading on Saturday, March 14th from 7:30-9pm at Bar 327 Braun Court.

Linguistics (Virtual) Colloquium: An intonational model of South Asian languages (March 13, 2020 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/71191 71191-17785607@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, March 13, 2020 4:00pm
Location: Ross School of Business
Organized By: Department of Linguistics

The Linguistics Department will host Sameer Dowla Khan, associate professor and chair of the Linguistics Department at Reed College, who will give a talk on Friday, March 13, titled "Phonological convergence in the absence of stress and tone contrasts: an intonational model of South Asian languages." The talk begins at 4 p.m.

ABSTRACT

Phonological convergence in the absence of stress and tone contrasts: an intonational model of South Asian languages

While linguistic similarity and convergence across South Asian languages (SALs) has long been accepted within studies of syntax, morphology, and (segmental) phonology, discussions of intonational similarities have arisen only in the last decade. However, a unified model of intonation across SALs, balancing typological similarities and differences, has yet to be proposed. This talk explores the most current findings and models of a range of SALs, from both my own work and that of several others in the field, in order to identify the common ground underlying a sample of languages of the region. The shared properties at the base of this unified model of intonation proposed for this selection of SALs include: (i) a preference for non-contrastive word-initial stress marked by low tone, (ii) a sequence of repeating rising contours each spanning a roughly word-sized unit, and (iii) greater flexibility within the higher-level boundary tones than within the pitch accent inventory. I argue that this bundle of features characterizes SAL intonation, setting it apart from the intonation of other well-documented language groups due to the general lack of contrastive tone and stress in the region.

In proposing this model, tentatively named Intonational Transcription of South Asian Languages (InTraSAL), I take note of important areas of crosslinguistic variation, including (i) the complex and variable role of syllable weight and (ii) the effects of voicing on pitch accent, as well as (iii) the phonetic alignment of what can be argued to be the same basic phonological pattern. I take these findings as an initial exploration into producing a “prosodic map” of South Asia, much like what has been done for Romance languages and varieties of Japanese. I also consider the applicability of the same model not only across languages, but also across speaking styles, and propose directions for further research to expand and test the model with more data.

"Spatial metaphors across sign languages with automatic and manual methods" (March 16, 2020 3:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/73401 73401-18214947@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, March 16, 2020 3:30pm
Location: Lorch Hall
Organized By: Department of Linguistics

Postdoctoral researcher Carl "Calle" Borstell will give a talk titled "Spatial metaphors across sign languages with automatic and manual methods." ASL interpretation will be provided.

ABSTRACT
Concepts may be construed along different spatial axes. In this talk, I will show an analysis of sign locations in 776 signs from 16 antonym pairs across 27 sign languages in the Spread the Sign online dictionary to examine metaphorical mappings of emotional valence (positive vs. negative). The study makes use of both an automatic (Openpose) and a manual analysis of sign location and movement direction to investigate cross-linguistic patterns of spatial valence contrasts. In accordance with the hypothesis, positive valence concepts are more often associated with upward movements than their negative counterparts, pointing to a systematic pattern for vertical valence contrasts – a known metaphor across languages – iconically mapped onto physical sign articulation. However, the same pattern does not hold for relative sign heights, such that positive valence concepts are generally articulated higher than negative valence concepts. Thus, it seems the dynamic contrast in movement is the key property, rather than plain height. Interestingly, there is also a difference in the distribution of movements along the sagittal axis, such that outward movement is more often associated with positive than negative valence, a finding that warrants further cross-linguistic research on spatial metaphors.

In this talk, Baptista explores how in a multilingual setting, the languages spoken by speakers with different first languages coalesce to give rise to creole languages. She specifically seeks to draw correspondences between linguistic features in the source languages and those of the resulting creoles while examining the processes that give rise to the observable features.

Zell Visiting Writers Series: Kathleen Graber, Poetry Reading (March 26, 2020 5:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/70562 70562-17604955@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, March 26, 2020 5:30pm
Location: Museum of Art
Organized By: University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)

Kathleen Graber’s poetry collection, The River Twice (Princeton University Press, 2019), is an elegiac meditation on impermanence and change. She presents a fluid world in which so much―including space and time, the subterranean realm of dreams, and language itself―seems protean. Graber is also the author of two previous books of  poetry, Correspondence and The Eternal City, which was a finalist for the National Book Award and the National Book Critics Circle Award. She is the recipient of fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts, the American Academy of Arts and Letters, and the Guggenheim Foundation. She is an associate professor of English at Virginia Commonwealth University.

This event is free and open to the public. Onsite book sales will be provided by Literati Bookstore.

UMMA is pleased to be the site for the  Zell Visiting Writers Series, which brings outstanding writers each semester. The Series is made possible through a generous gift from U-M alumna Helen Zell (AB ’64, LLDHon ’13). For more information, please visit the Zell Visiting Writers Series webpage.

For any questions about the event or to share accommodation needs, please email asbates@umich.edu-- we are eager to help ensure that this event is inclusive to you. The building, event space, and restrooms are wheelchair accessible. Diaper changing tables are available in nearby restrooms. Gender-inclusive restrooms are available on the second floor of the Museum, accessible via the stairs, or in nearby Hatcher Graduate Library (Floors 3, 4, 5, and 6). The Hatcher Library also offers a reflection room (4th Floor South Stacks), and a lactation room (Room 13W, an anteroom to the basement women's staff restroom, or Room 108B, an anteroom of the first floor women's restroom). ASL interpreters and CART services are available upon request; please email asbates@umich.edu at least two weeks prior to the event.

Location: V. Vaughan
Organized By: University Center for Language and Literacy

ALL UCLL EVENTS HAVE BEEN POSTPONED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE.

Are you looking to increase confidence in your use of American English? The University Center for Language and Literacy (UCLL) at U-M offers a special workshop designed for non-native English speakers who want to expand their communication skills. Our program provides the perfect environment for you to reach your personal goals and we’re registering now!

Our certified Speech and Language Pathologists use techniques technically known as accent reduction to help non-native speakers feel more at home in their communications — whether that’s giving a presentation or taking notes in a class with a native speaker with a fast cadence. The goal of the program is certainly not to eliminate the accents of our clients, but to enhance communication skills for greater confidence in all settings. Participants will set their own individual objectives at the start of the workshop and will work to reach those goals using a combination of small group activities and one-on-one interaction, facilitated by a Speech and Language Pathologist.
The workshop will run from February 5 to April 15, 2020. Participants meet weekly on Wednesdays from 3:30-4:30 p.m. There will be no meeting on March 4.
If you have questions, need assistance, or want more information, please call (734) 764-8440 or visit https://mari.umich.edu/ucll

Your Host: Emily Rae Sabo

Your Headliner: Hunter Hill (as seen on NETFLIX and on tour w/ Iliza Schlesinger)!

The Lineup: Rising stars coming to us from across the country: Diego Attanasio (Peruvian comic who knows ASL and has featured for Tig Notaro), Josh Waldron (NorCal comic, producer of The Hell Show), Jay Hunter (funny local Detroit comic), Kelly Collette (Cincinnati Magazine's Best Local Comedian), Ellie Snyder (hilarious Ann Arbor comic!), and Brad Silnutzer (who you've seen on Netflix, Comedy Central and is a producer for The Bachelor).

Two simple rules:
Mute your mic if you have any background noise (e.g. kids, dishwasher, TV...). Otherwise, you can keep your mics and videos on!
The comics like to hear your laughter and see your smiling faces.

Have fun! And no heckling.

Watershed (June 6, 2020 11:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/73787 73787-18315759@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Saturday, June 6, 2020 11:00am
Location: Museum of Art
Organized By: University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)

Watershed brings work from thirteen contemporary regional and international artists to UMMA for an exhibition that asks visitors to recognize complex, tangled histories about the Great Lakes, its watershed, and the surrounding region. 

Through the use of experimental photography, painting, sculpture, and textile work, these artists explore issues of water security, pollution, and the deep cultural histories of the Great Lakes region. Taken together, their work highlights the complicated personal, political, and economic relationships between people, the water we depend on, the lands we call home, and the forces challenging the sanctity of it all.

These artists encourage us to consider the bodies of water as a resource linked to our survival, with complex histories of cultural exchange. Their stories are different, and their perspectives and interpretations are varied. But these artists demonstrate how art can contribute to and shape current dialogues on the region’s critical water crises.

Watershed includes many new, exclusive works commissioned by UMMA for the exhibition including:
A series of large-scale cyanotype prints from Washington-based artist Meghann Riepenhoff processed in the watershed of Lake Ontario on the Genesee River, near the former site of Eastman Kodak Co. production facility; Calligraphic paintings from Syrian-born and Dubai-based artist Khaled Al-Saai that explore how language can be used to visually connect us to meanings found in the watery worlds above and below the surfaces of the Great Lakes; A new mural by Toronto-based artist Bonnie Devine from the Serpent River First Nation will examine accounts of western expansion across the state of Michigan; and, Detroit-based musician, artist, and activist Sacramento Knoxx, along with The Aadizookaan, will fill the gallery with recorded song compositions made with water samples from each Great Lake and other sacred materials.

Lead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost, Michigan Medicine, and the ​Eleanor Noyes Crumpacker Endowment Fund. Additional generous support is provided by P.J. and Julie Solit and the University of Michigan School for Environment and Sustainability and Department of English Language and Literature.

Watershed brings work from thirteen contemporary regional and international artists to UMMA for an exhibition that asks visitors to recognize complex, tangled histories about the Great Lakes, its watershed, and the surrounding region. 

Through the use of experimental photography, painting, sculpture, and textile work, these artists explore issues of water security, pollution, and the deep cultural histories of the Great Lakes region. Taken together, their work highlights the complicated personal, political, and economic relationships between people, the water we depend on, the lands we call home, and the forces challenging the sanctity of it all.

These artists encourage us to consider the bodies of water as a resource linked to our survival, with complex histories of cultural exchange. Their stories are different, and their perspectives and interpretations are varied. But these artists demonstrate how art can contribute to and shape current dialogues on the region’s critical water crises.

Organized By: University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)

Watershed brings work from thirteen contemporary regional and international artists to UMMA for an exhibition that asks visitors to recognize complex, tangled histories about the Great Lakes, its watershed, and the surrounding region. 

Through the use of experimental photography, painting, sculpture, and textile work, these artists explore issues of water security, pollution, and the deep cultural histories of the Great Lakes region. Taken together, their work highlights the complicated personal, political, and economic relationships between people, the water we depend on, the lands we call home, and the forces challenging the sanctity of it all.

These artists encourage us to consider the bodies of water as a resource linked to our survival, with complex histories of cultural exchange. Their stories are different, and their perspectives and interpretations are varied. But these artists demonstrate how art can contribute to and shape current dialogues on the region’s critical water crises.

Watershed includes many new, exclusive works commissioned by UMMA for the exhibition including:
A series of large-scale cyanotype prints from Washington-based artist Meghann Riepenhoff processed in the watershed of Lake Ontario on the Genesee River, near the former site of Eastman Kodak Co. production facility; Calligraphic paintings from Syrian-born and Dubai-based artist Khaled Al-Saai that explore how language can be used to visually connect us to meanings found in the watery worlds above and below the surfaces of the Great Lakes; A new mural by Toronto-based artist Bonnie Devine from the Serpent River First Nation will examine accounts of western expansion across the state of Michigan; and, Detroit-based musician, artist, and activist Sacramento Knoxx, along with The Aadizookaan, will fill the gallery with recorded song compositions made with water samples from each Great Lake and other sacred materials.

Lead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost, Michigan Medicine, and the ​Eleanor Noyes Crumpacker Endowment Fund. Additional generous support is provided by P.J. and Julie Solit and the University of Michigan School for Environment and Sustainability and Department of English Language and Literature.

Taken together, their work highlights the complicated personal, political, and economic relationships between people, the water we depend on, the lands we call home, and the forces challenging the sanctity of it all.

These artists encourage us to consider the bodies of water as a resource linked to our survival, with complex histories of cultural exchange. Their stories are different, and their perspectives and interpretations are varied. But these artists demonstrate how art can contribute to and shape current dialogues on the region’s critical water crises.

Watershed includes many new, exclusive works commissioned by UMMA for the exhibition including:
A series of large-scale cyanotype prints from Washington-based artist Meghann Riepenhoff processed in the watershed of Lake Ontario on the Genesee River, near the former site of Eastman Kodak Co. production facility; Calligraphic paintings from Syrian-born and Dubai-based artist Khaled Al-Saai that explore how language can be used to visually connect us to meanings found in the watery worlds above and below the surfaces of the Great Lakes; A new mural by Toronto-based artist Bonnie Devine from the Serpent River First Nation will examine accounts of western expansion across the state of Michigan; and, Detroit-based musician, artist, and activist Sacramento Knoxx, along with The Aadizookaan, will fill the gallery with recorded song compositions made with water samples from each Great Lake and other sacred materials.

Lead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost, Michigan Medicine, and the ​Eleanor Noyes Crumpacker Endowment Fund. Additional generous support is provided by P.J. and Julie Solit and the University of Michigan School for Environment and Sustainability and Department of English Language and Literature.

Watershed brings work from thirteen contemporary regional and international artists to UMMA for an exhibition that asks visitors to recognize complex, tangled histories about the Great Lakes, its watershed, and the surrounding region. 

Through the use of experimental photography, painting, sculpture, and textile work, these artists explore issues of water security, pollution, and the deep cultural histories of the Great Lakes region. Taken together, their work highlights the complicated personal, political, and economic relationships between people, the water we depend on, the lands we call home, and the forces challenging the sanctity of it all.

These artists encourage us to consider the bodies of water as a resource linked to our survival, with complex histories of cultural exchange. Their stories are different, and their perspectives and interpretations are varied. But these artists demonstrate how art can contribute to and shape current dialogues on the region’s critical water crises.

Watershed brings work from thirteen contemporary regional and international artists to UMMA for an exhibition that asks visitors to recognize complex, tangled histories about the Great Lakes, its watershed, and the surrounding region. 

Through the use of experimental photography, painting, sculpture, and textile work, these artists explore issues of water security, pollution, and the deep cultural histories of the Great Lakes region. Taken together, their work highlights the complicated personal, political, and economic relationships between people, the water we depend on, the lands we call home, and the forces challenging the sanctity of it all.

These artists encourage us to consider the bodies of water as a resource linked to our survival, with complex histories of cultural exchange. Their stories are different, and their perspectives and interpretations are varied. But these artists demonstrate how art can contribute to and shape current dialogues on the region’s critical water crises.

Watershed includes many new, exclusive works commissioned by UMMA for the exhibition including:
A series of large-scale cyanotype prints from Washington-based artist Meghann Riepenhoff processed in the watershed of Lake Ontario on the Genesee River, near the former site of Eastman Kodak Co. production facility; Calligraphic paintings from Syrian-born and Dubai-based artist Khaled Al-Saai that explore how language can be used to visually connect us to meanings found in the watery worlds above and below the surfaces of the Great Lakes; A new mural by Toronto-based artist Bonnie Devine from the Serpent River First Nation will examine accounts of western expansion across the state of Michigan; and, Detroit-based musician, artist, and activist Sacramento Knoxx, along with The Aadizookaan, will fill the gallery with recorded song compositions made with water samples from each Great Lake and other sacred materials.

Lead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost, Michigan Medicine, and the ​Eleanor Noyes Crumpacker Endowment Fund. Additional generous support is provided by P.J. and Julie Solit and the University of Michigan School for Environment and Sustainability and Department of English Language and Literature.
