SUMMARY:Brendan Regan – The Effect of Short-Term Study Abroad on the Production and Perception of Language- and Dialect-Specific Sounds by L2 and Heritage Spanish Speakers
DESCRIPTION:There is a growing interest in examining the effect of study abroad on language acquisition. However\, compared to other linguistic domains\, there is a lack of studies that examine phonetic acquisition in the study abroad (henceforth SA) context. Of the previous studies that have examined phonetic acquisition in the SA context\, the role of linguistic proficiency and bilingualism type (L2\, heritage) remains understudied. Building on previous studies\, this talk addresses these gaps by examining how phonetic production and perception change during a short-term SA program in Sevilla\, Spain based on bilingualism type (L2 or heritage Spanish speakers) and linguistic proficiency (advanced\, intermediate). The first study\, examines the production of language-specific [ð] and dialect-specific [∅] allophones of intervocalic /d/ by 40 speakers. The results found that those with higher proficiency (heritage and L2) with favorable attitudes towards the local variety demonstrated more gradient language-specific allophonic change overtime\, while only one L2-advanced speaker produced dialect-specific allophones. The second study\, with 57 listeners\, examines the perception of Andalusian (dialect-specific) post-consonant aspiration of word-internal /sp\, st\, sk/ (i.e.\, pasta [ˈpa.t h a]) using a binary forced-choice identification task (i.e.\, pata-pasta) in which stimuli varied on a 7-step VOT continuum. The results found that L2 and heritage Spanish listeners only showed a change in perception over time with /s.t/ realizations\, suggesting that [t h ] is more phonetically salient than [p h ] and [k h ]. There were no significant differences for proficiency level nor bilingualism type. Thus\, proficiency and bilingual type may be better predictors for phonetic production than perception in the SA context. \nThis event is presented by the Department of Languages and Applied Linguistics. \nDr. Brendan Regan is assistant professor of Hispanic Linguistics at Texas Tech University and the Director of the Texas Tech Sociolinguistics and Bilingualism Research Lab. His research focuses on sociophonetic production and perception to better understand language variation\, change\, and acquisition as well as the social meaning of linguistic variation.

SUMMARY:Asli Bâli – From Revolution to Devolution? Dilemmas of Federalism & Decentralization in the Middle East
DESCRIPTION:“From Revolution to Devolution? Dilemmas of Federalism and Decentralization in the Middle East” \nThis seminar engages in a qualitative comparison of four experiences with decentralization in the Middle East to explore the ways in which decentralized governance arrangements might address governance crises\, identity-based conflict and self-determination demands in the Middle East. Bâli argues that the failure to engage with these and other experiences in the MENA region in the growing literature on decentralization in comparative politics and law produces gaps in both the institutional design strategies available in the prescriptions derived from the literature\, and also in our accounts of the region that focus exclusively on the macro politics of authoritarianism without paying attention to experiments on the ground that have sought to formulate alternative governance strategies. \n \nThis event is co-sponsored by the Center for the Middle East and North Africa and the Legal Studies Program. \nAslı Bâli is Professor of Law at the Yale Law School. Previously\, she was on the faculty at the UCLA School of Law where she was Faculty Director of the Promise Institute for Human Rights\, a core faculty member of the Critical Race Studies Program and served as the Director of the UCLA Center for Near Eastern Studies. Bâli’s research focuses on two broad areas: public international law—including human rights law and the law of the international security order—and comparative constitutional law\, with a focus on the Middle East. Her scholarship has appeared in leading international and comparative law reviews and peer reviewed journals such as the American Journal of International Law\,  International Journal of Constitutional Law and Law & Social Inquiry; her edited volume Constitution Writing\, Religion and Democracy was published by Cambridge University Press in 2017 and a second edited volume\, Identity Conflict\, Governance and Decentralization in the Middle East is forthcoming from Cambridge University Press in 2022. She received her J.D. from Yale\, her M.Phil. from Cambridge University and her Ph.D in Politics from Princeton University.
