Leveraging Sociolinguistic Knowledge: Cognition and Multidialectal Processing

Talk by: Rachel Weissler, M.A., Ph.D. Candidate in Linguistics, University of Michigan

Through studies of neurolinguistic processing and emotional prosody judgements, this research shows how language varieties (African American English and Standardized American English) impact processing, and contributes to further understanding of how social information and stereotypes interface with cognitive processing within a multidialectal frame.

Winter presentation workshop opportunity

Are you interested in a fun way to interact with your fellows while giving your brain a little stretch before school starts? This January you have the opportunity to build incredibly useful and marketable skills that will give you a leg up in any field you choose to pursue.
 
Every person looking to hire someone, no matter the field, is looking for the same quality. That quality, more than any technical skill, is the ability to convey complex information in an understandable way. 
As we have an unusually long break this winter, one great way to use a bit of that time is to flex those communication muscles and create compelling, bite-sized presentations that are powerful enough that they can reach anyone who wants to learn.
For six days in January (13th-15th & 18th-20th), the Department of Linguistics and Cognitive Science invites you to a workshop where we’ll start with developing a linguistics/cognitive science topic of your choice and ending up with a polished filmed 5-minute long presentation that demonstrates your communication mastery. At the end of the workshop, there will be prizes available for workshop participants for your video creation. 
For now, just indicate on this very short google form your interest in either participating or hearing about such a thing.

 

Glad winter tidings!
