Indigenous Languages of Latin America: Standardization and Multilingualism

aspects of indigenous languages of Latin America. Descriptive,

on issues of multilingualism and/or standardization are especially
encouraged.

Invited speakers:

April 26th
Sub-Symbolic Approaches to Language

Many recent studies have used mathematical, computational, and/or
biological approaches as a complement or alternative to the stipulation of
abstract symbols in linguistic theory. This panel will investigate
language at the sub-symbolic level, and explore how language emerges from
patterns of data in the environment.

Invited speakers:
- JEFFREY ELMAN, University of California, San Diego
- BRIAN MACWHINNEY, Carnegie Mellon University

April 27th
Negation and Polarity Items

There have been many investigations of negation and polarity items since
the last panel on Negation at CLS in 1991. This panel will explore how
negation and polarity items operate in language, respectively or
interactively, and their implications for linguistic theory.

Invited speakers:
- ANASTASIA GIANNAKIDOU, University of Chicago
- LAURENCE HORN, Yale University
