Several of the Department’s grad students and alumni are set to present their papers at the 34th Annual Meeting of the Southeast Asian Linguistics Society (SEALS 34), to be held at Bali, Indonesia on 11 to 13 June.
Inst.

MA alums Benito Nolasco and Edward Estrera are also at the conference to disseminate their research: Nolasco on “Notes on the Structure and Functions of Serial Verb Constructions in Ilokano,” and Estrera on “Consonant Clusters in South Mindanao Languages” (co-authored with Jason Montero and Love Batoon). Finally, MA alum Rodney Jubilado will talk about “Grammatical Number in Cebuano: Plural, Pluractional, Plurifactive Verbs.”
SEALS “is an independent, international, all-volunteer effort to facilitate ongoing academic exchange and networking among the community of scholars and students concerned with the linguistics of Mainland and Insular Southeast Asian languages.” This year’s conference welcomed contributions “that relate directly to languages of Mainland and Island Southeast Asia, and deal with general and applied linguistic issues […].”
