On Feb 11-12, several U of C linguists will be presenting at BLS 38:

• Rebekah Baglini: Reduced clausal structure in comparatives: evidence from Wolof
• Andrew Dombrowski: Multiple relative marking in 19th century West Rumelian Turkish
• Matthew Faytak (BA, 2011): Logical sonority scales and turbulence in fricative-vowel languages

In addition to these student presenters, our very own Victor Friedman is one of the invited speakers. His talk is titled “Languages are Wealth: The Sprachbund as Linguistic Capital”.
