Bill Labov and Gillian Sankoff are visiting OSU February 28 through March 1. Among the many scheduled events, I am most excited about their talk on Friday, “What is to be learned?”, in which they will endeavor to answer the question: What are the data that the child attends to in the process of becoming a native speaker? The talk will be in Lazenby 21, 3:55-5:00 pm, reception to follow.
