Several students from the Department of Linguistics presented their research at the 2026 Center for Undergraduate Research Opportunities (CURO) Symposium held on April 20 and 21. Their projects reflected the wide range of undergraduate research taking place within the department, from language documentation and semantics to sociolinguistics and language identity. Casen Stiber presented “Plurality in Salvadoran Nawat,” a project examining plural marking in Salvadoran Nawat, an Indigenous language of El Salvador. Britton Hare presented “Documenting the Semantic Variation of Navajo Pluractionality.” Britton also presented the poster “Re-examining Indefinite Article Leveling in African-American English.” Susanna Lawrence presented the poster “Analyzing the Semantic Disjunction as a Psychological Process.” Bryce Knoll presented the poster “Language Use and Identity in the Armenian Diaspora of Buenos Aires.” We are proud to recognize all of these students for representing the Department of Linguistics and sharing their research at this year’s CURO Symposium!
