This is an informal series of talks showcasing topics in language-related disciplines. The event will include two parts: a 50-minute talk/presentation followed by a 10-minute Q&A session. The event will be held via Zoom. It will not require any unusual costs or have any unusual features. Dr. Salvatore Callesano is Assistant Professor at University of Texas at Austin. He is a sociolinguist whose research focuses on language variation, bilingualism, Spanish in the U.S., perceptual dialectology, and social media. Dr. Callesano’s talk will help students connect theoretical concepts to real-world issues. Students will benefit by gaining insight into how linguistic data from a national survey looks at grammaticality judgements towards code-switching, what happens when we think about code-switching and its connection to reggaetón music.
