Canadianlinguist Posted March 17, 2012 Posted March 17, 2012 I picked psycholinguistics. Specifically, I'm interested in bilingual and second language acquisition Very interesting where are you going to school?
Lt. Mango Posted March 17, 2012 Posted March 17, 2012 I did my undergrad at UCLA, and I've been accepted to UH Manoa. I'm still waiting on Rutgers and UMD, but at this point I'm assuming I've been silently rejected
Canadianlinguist Posted March 17, 2012 Posted March 17, 2012 Hawii eh? sweet I am kinda jealous You never know I'm waiting on Mich State and when I called they literally said they just haven't fone them yet.
Lt. Mango Posted March 17, 2012 Posted March 17, 2012 jeez that's late...you'd think they would take mercy on us!
Canadianlinguist Posted March 17, 2012 Posted March 17, 2012 Yeah sometimes I wonder if they take pride in making us misterable.
100freestyle Posted March 28, 2012 Posted March 28, 2012 More love for sociolinguistics! I am interested in language policy in education. I've been accepted to Georgetown's MLC program, which is my dream program except for its lack of funding...
annette2010 Posted April 15, 2012 Posted April 15, 2012 hmmm doing sociolinguistics but also interested in phonetics/phonology... so I voted for the latter btw, sociolinguistics is quite popular here? hahah
GeoLing Posted April 16, 2013 Posted April 16, 2013 I voted psycholinguistics. Specifically, I'm interested in sociocognitive relationships between language and the cultural landscape. I'm curious about how natural and built environments affect the behavior of bilingual speakers of minority speakers. My B.A. was in Geography, and my M.A. was in English, with concentrations in Geography and Linguistics. I'll be working with Andrea Berez at the University of Hawaii at Manoa starting this fall, and I absolutely cannot wait!
antecedent Posted April 17, 2013 Posted April 17, 2013 I'm generally not a fan of dredging up old posts, but I thought I'd bite in order to lol heartily at my comment from last year. When I said I had no idea what I was doing, I was serious...a year on and I'm about as far from sociolx as you can get without straight up being in a different field. In any case, the flavor of the week here in antecedent-ville seems to be syntax-semantics, syntax-pragmatics, and psycholinguistics, all in how they relate to resolution of syntactic ambiguity.
goldheartmountaintop Posted April 22, 2013 Posted April 22, 2013 I chose syntax, which is what I primarily work on. Right now, I'm interested in syntactic aspects of ergativity (i.e. how languages can look ergative structurally rather than purely morphologically, and why they look that way). On the phonological side, I'm kind of interested in how stress and tone interact in tonal languages, and would like to learn more!
deleted_account Posted April 22, 2013 Posted April 22, 2013 . . . syntax-semantics, syntax-pragmatics, and psycholinguistics, all in how they relate to resolution of syntactic ambiguity. I chose psycholinguistics on the poll, but within that, my interests are varied. They range from information structure (discourse status and focus) to syntax-semantics (particularly in garden-path resolution). Just curious, antecedent, are you at the University of Edinburgh now? If you don't mind my asking, who are you working with? Thanks!
