Great experience at this year’s SLINKI conference and good feedback on my presentation: “Dialect variation and progressive constructions in Spanish”.
Very proud to see two of our undergraduate students, both members of the SoCIOLing Lab, present data from our ongoing research project on the emerging Spanish in eastern NC. Way to go Mario and Briceida!!

On February 8, Mario Becerra and Briceida Rodriguez, who are completing a BA in Hispanic Studies and are student members of the SoCIOLing (Study of Community Involvement and Outreach & Linguistics) Lab, presented the poster ‘A sociolinguistic analysis of morphosyntactic phenomena in the Spanish of Pitt County: A pilot study’ at the SLINKI (Spanish Linguistics in North Carolina) Conference held at Appalachian State University. Under the mentorship by Dr. Stephen Fafulas and Dr. Ricard Viñas-de-Puig, the students summarized the results of the research project in which they investigated the expression of future and clitic doubling constructions by native Spanish speakers from Pitt County.
