LSA 2007
Hello, gentle readers! I'm writing from a room at the Anaheim Hilton, where the LSA's annual meeting is about to get underway!
Thursday, 4 January:
4:00 - "Morpho-syntactic variation and data inconsistencies: the Turkish ECM" (Gülsat Aygen)
4:30 - "The Rhetoric of Erasure in Defendants' Apology Narratives at Sentencing" (M Catherine Gruber)
5:00 - "Constructing responses to social constraints in narrative and non-narrative discourse" (Natalie Schilling-Estes)
(very quick dinner)
6:00 - "Linguistic flexibility in frame of reference use among adult Tseltal (Mayan) speakers" (Linda Abarbanelli)
6:30 - "Ish: A new case of antigrammaticalization" (Stefanie Kuzmack)
Reports on interesting happenings will hopefully follow. For now, I leave you with your Overheard at LSA Moment:
"I hope the level heads will prevail and kick these Taliban guys out. I mean, half the LSA is Taliban now. And don't get me started on the AAA - 10% of anthropologists are Taliban jackasses." - cranky dude behind me in the hotel registration line
