Dear Changelings, SoMean, and Lacqueys members,<br>
<br>
There are still timeslots available for faculty and students to meet
with Lisa Green <span style="font-weight: bold;">tomorrow</span><span
style="font-weight: bold;"> (Monday)</span>. For students especially: <span
style="text-decoration: underline;">a
one-on-one meeting is a great opportunity</span> to talk about your
research interests and to network with a major scholar in the field. <span
style="text-decoration: underline;">A primary reason that we bring
scholars to give talks is so that students can meet with them</span>. It
is also good for the department to show what interesting things our
wonderful, engaged students are doing. <br>
<br>
<span style="font-weight: bold;">You can sign up for a
meeting with Lisa here: </span><a

A description of Lisa Green's research (from <a
href="https://www.umass.edu/linguistics/member/lisa-green">her website</a>):
Green’s research investigates variation within and across varieties of
English, with a focus on African American English (AAE). In moving away
from the traditional approach of studying isolated features of AAE that
differ maximally from constructions in the standard and mainstream
varieties of English, she considers systems in the AAE grammar, such as
the systems of tense/aspect marking and negation. Green’s work also
explores the link between discourse and structural positions of elements
in the left periphery. Her work on child AAE addresses questions about
optionality and variation in language development.<br>
<br>
And don't forget about Lisa's Hammond Lecture (4:30pm Monday, U.S. Bank
Theater, Ohio Union) and the grad student lunch (12:15-1:15, Oxley 122)!<br>
<br>
Best,<br>
