Talking Politics with Leah Sprain: Making Non-Answers Hearable

Talking Politics with Leah Sprain: Making Non-Answers Hearable reku3206 Fri, 01/31/2025 - 09:58

A common view of politicians is that, when they are asked questions, they rarely answer them. Question evasion is deeply bothersome to publics, but experiments

show that audiences are not good at identifying dodging techniques. In this talk, Leah Sprain (��ƷSM��ӰƬ) explores

what debate moderators can do to make politicians’ evasion easier to notice—in other words, how moderators can make a non-answer hearable as a non-answer. This webinar offers practical theory that can moderators can use to make candidate forums and debates

more accountable to their publics through ground rules, formats, and goals.

Linguistics Professors Andy Cowell and Ambrocio Gutiérrez Lorenzo will each be participating in roundtables for the 3rd Annual Celebrating the Indigenous Americas, hosted by the Latin American and Latinx Studies Center at ��ƷSM��ӰƬ. The program will be a week of virtual and in-person events happening March 11-15, 2024. Indigenous artists, advocates, community leaders, educators, scholars and allies will be hosted virtually and in-person at the University of Colorado from different parts of the Americas to celebrate the ever-renewed presence of Latin American Indigenous and Native American languages and cultures in daily life, activities and professions.

Prof. Gutiérrez Lorenzo will be speaking on the challenges of teaching Indigenous languages on March 12, and Prof. Cowell will be discussing what Land Back means for institutions of higher education on March 14.

Sponsorship is provided by U.S. Department of Education: UISFL Grant (International and Foreign Language Education), LALSC, CNAIS, University Libraries, WGST, the Museum of Natural History, the School of Education, ARMC, PWR, ETHN, CHA, GEO, CAW, A&S and LING.

All events for the program are free and open to the public.

Land Acknowledgment:
We acknowledge that the ��ƷSM��ӰƬ has developed and continues to operate upon Native land, within the territories of the Ute, Cheyenne, and Arapaho Peoples. Furthermore, we acknowledge the 48 Tribal Nations that are historically tied to what is today called Colorado. We also wish to recognize that this event takes place partially online and that our virtual spaces and technological devices have environmental consequences. We acknowledge that many of us join this event remotely from the lands of other Indigenous Peoples who, across regions and continents, continue to feel the daily effects of settler colonialism. We are committed to honoring Indigenous rights to land, and Indigenous languages, science, art, and governance in the Americas.

Dictionary Society of North America (DSNA 2023) to be held at CU May 31-June 3

Dictionary Society of North America (DSNA 2023) to be held at CU May 31-June 3 Anonymous (not verified) Fri, 11/18/2022 - 11:30

The Dictionary Society of North America (DSNA), founded in 1975, is an organization of lexicographers, scholars, publishers, and collectors, all with an interest in dictionaries. It holds a conference every two years at a university somewhere in North America for members and all other interested parties to network, socialize, and learn and talk about dictionaries. Past meetings have taken place at UC-Berkeley, Indiana University, University of Michigan, McGill University, and the University of Chicago, to name only a few. Next year, for the first time, the DSNA will meet for the first time at CU-Boulder. CU Linguistics is a major sponsor, and CU faculty are among the invited speakers.

If you have ever been curious about how dictionaries come to be, this is the place to find out. The world of lexicography and dictionary-making is surprisingly small, and very friendly. DSNA members are largely from North America but our conferences regularly attract people from all over the world, working in all languages, with an interest in dictionaries.

The Linguistics Department, thanks to chair Laura Michaelis, is the official sponsor of the conference. We expect 100 or more attendees and we very strongly encourage local participation! To that end, there will be special discounted rates for students to join the conference, and there will also be volunteer opportunities closer to the time of the conference, in exchange for free admission.

If you would like to make a presentation at the conference, there’s scope for that too! Here is a page about the conference on the DSNA website and it includes a link to the call for papers.

If you’re interested in pursuing a career in lexicography, there’s good news and bad news. The bad news is that there are very few jobs available of the old-fashioned kind: that is, writing definitions for standard English-language dictionaries. But the good news is, lexicographic work on under resourced, minority, and marginalized languages is a growing field that increasingly attracts funding. Computational linguistics has also expanded the field of dictionaries and lexicography greatly and presents many opportunities for innovation. It’s not an exaggeration to say that the DSNA conference represents the best networking opportunity to get your foot into the door of the dictionary world.

So save the dates: the conference will happen at the UMC starting May 31, 2023 and run through June 3.

Peak Potential '22: Virtual Preview of ��ƷSM��ӰƬ Linguistics

Peak Potential '22: Virtual Preview of ��ƷSM��ӰƬ Linguistics Anonymous (not verified) Thu, 11/17/2022 - 12:18

The Department of Linguistics at the ��ƷSM��ӰƬ will offer a virtual preview event on December 1-2 to provide information and support for excellent potential graduate applicants. Our major purpose is to introduce our department, and its diverse community of learners, to applicants from historically underrepresented groups.

CU’s Linguistics Department is a major center of interdisciplinary research in sociocultural and interactional linguistics, computational linguistics, cognitive-functional linguistics, language documentation, and psycholinguistics and experimental linguistics. The Department's orientation is empirical: we use analysis of conversational data, acoustic measurements of speech, computational modeling and statistical analysis, psycholinguistic experimentation, and fieldwork in local communities and abroad to gain insights about structural properties of language, test theories about language, and explain patterns of language use.

The Department strives to provide a supportive environment for research and learning by fostering diversity and inclusion across the areas of curriculum, student body demographics, and faculty demographics. We recognize that students and faculty from backgrounds not historically well represented in graduate programs enrich our field of study and enhance the educational experience of all students. We encourage students to use the tools of our field to address critical problems in our world.

Registration can be completed here: https://forms.gle/xCPPjhoZy7dUzqvb9 After you have registered, a Zoom link will be sent to you.
