LIN 1256: Advanced Language Variation & Change
Language Contact, Corpora & Our Changing Society
Project Progress Reports
Individuals or research groups will provide an update on their progress in class in the last course meeting. Think about:
- What "Big Questions" are you addressing?
- What contact effects are you seeking?
- What corpora are you using?
- What context factors are relevant?
For each, please discuss/describe:
- What do (/would) you already know?
- What do you still need to find out?
- What’s your time-table for the duration?
- What might be sticking points where you need help?
Please aim for a 20 minute presentation, including Q&A/Discussion. If there will be a handout or PPT, please send it to me at least 24 hours before class. I'm happy to discuss your presentation/plans as they develop.
