Penn Linguistics Colloquium
The 37th Annual Penn Linguistics Colloquium will take place March 22-24, 2013 at the University of Pennsylvania campus in Philadelphia, PA.
The PLC is a conference in linguistics run by the graduate students in the Department of Linguistics in collaboration with the Department of Computer and Information Science at the University of Pennsylvania.
This event is supported by funding from SASgov, the student government for graduate students in the School of Arts and Sciences, GAPSA, the Graduate and Professional Students' Association at the University of Pennsylvania, and the University of Pennsylvania Department of Linguistics.
The program of PLC 37 is made possible by support from Penn's Year of Proof, GAPSA, SASGov and the Fund to Encourage Women (FEW) of the Trustees' Council of Penn Women.

Invited Speaker: Hilda Koopman
Talk title: "Coarse and Fine grained Syntactic variation"
Ongoing research around Universal 20 (Greenberg 1966, Cinque 2005) leads to theoretical predictions about expected patterns of syntactic variation. These are tested and explored in two studies. The first study of "coarse" syntactic variation explores the Universal 20 data currently in the SSWL/Terraling database: a crowdsourced, expert based, open-ended database. The second study is a study of fine grained syntactic variation which examines specific predictions about individual grammars through a judgment study of verbal complexes.
Special Panel: Finding Proof
Methodology and Epistemology in the Language Sciences
