Poster Presentation for: "Probing the nature of roots through language contact"

This poster was presented on 2021 April 8 - 11 at the 39th meeting of the West Coast Conference on Formal Linguistics.

Provided abstract:

Data from language contact support the following view of roots:

• Roots are devoid of categorical information

• Roots merge with (overt or covert) categorizers in the syntax

• The realization of roots and their functional vocabulary as identified in work on language mixing informs theories of what a word is, how it is built, and how concepts are lexicalized across languages
