Main Library
Latin America and the Caribbean is a region special for
many reasons. Its rich culture, dynamic politics, and varied economies provide
much space for study and engagement. However, as Peter Bakewell argues in “A
History of Latin America,” what makes Latin America and the Caribbean a region
unique from other parts of the world is its long history of cultural, political,
racial, and ethnic mixing, otherwise known as mestizaje. Through more
than 500 years of constant intermixing of different civilizations (broadly
defined as Indigenous, European, African, and Asian), new types of societies
have emerged, in different ways and with different features. The societies that
inhabit these lands are a result of this mestizaje, whether genetic or
cultural, which provides the basis for the ways in which politics work, their
culture redefined, literary works created, languages spoken and written, and
religions followed and practiced. Latin America and the Caribbean, is thus a
true kaleidoscope of human civilizations, experiences, and histories, all
brought together by that same diverse process of human interaction to achieve unity
in diversity. In this exhibit you will see a very slim, but rare and
sometimes unique, selection of the plethora of resources in our library
collection. Stop by the exhibit hall on the south side of the first floor of
the Main Library to learn more about these fascinating cultures.

THIRD
LANGUAGE ACQUISITION OF NOMINAL INTERPRETATION IN BRAZILIAN PORTUGUESE
TANIA
IONIN (Linguistics, Univ. of Illinois) and ELAINE GROLLA ( Linguistics, USP,
Brazil)
This
talk will examine how learners of Brazilian Portuguese as a third language
interpret noun phrases with and without articles, with a particular focus on
how these learners are affected by cross-linguistic influence from their prior
languages, English and Spanish. Brazilian Portuguese, English and Spanish have
a three-way distinction in how they express generic interpretation. In English,
a generic statement about cats can be made using an article-less plural form, as
in “Cats love milk”. If the definite article is used with a plural form,
as in “The cats love milk”, the statement is about specific cats, rather
than cats in general. In contrast, in Spanish, definite articles are required
for generic readings: “Los gatos adoran la leche” can be a statement either about cats in general, or about specific
cats. Finally, in Brazilian Portuguese, definite articles are optional with
generic readings, so that both “Os gatos adoram leite” and “Gatos adoram leite” can be
statements about cats in general. This three-way distinction allows us to
formulate specific predictions for how learners of Brazilian Portuguese as a
third language interpret noun phrases with and without articles in generic
environments, depending on whether they are influenced by transfer from
English, from Spanish, or from both languages. We report the results of two
experimental studies of learners’ linguistic judgments; these studies were made
possible by the support of a collaborative Lemann Institute grant.

■ XXIX BIENNAL LOUISIANA CONFERENCE ON HISPANIC LANGUAGES
AND LITERATURES : "Mobilities and Moorings"
February 27 - March
1, 2014
Louisiana State University, Baton Rouge, Louisiana
Louisiana State University, Baton Rouge, Louisiana
Since the 1990s a “new mobilities paradigm” has crossed disciplinary boundaries to examine the broader social and political implications of movement, ranging from the scale of the body to the global. Human geographer Tim Cresswell points out three aspects that allow for a holistic understanding of mobility: “the fact of physical movement—getting from one place to another; the representations of movement that give it shared meaning; and finally, the experienced and embodied practice of movement”. The upcoming edition of the Louisiana Conference on Hispanic Languages and Literatures aims to explore the varied cultural and linguistic manifestations and interpretations of mobility that emerge in the Spanish-speaking world throughout history. We extend the call for essays that examine how movement or mobility is represented in art, literature, film, and performance; as well as how actual movement is involved in the creation, circulation, and reception of works. The field of linguistics is particularly tied to forms of mobility and presentations might explore issues of variation in time and/or space, sociolinguistic aspects of mobility, the language of written records, bilingualism, language maintenance, issues related to proficiency/nativity/hybridity, and language attitudes.
Proposal deadline: Oct. 1, 2013
