Patricia Gubitosi from the department of Languages, Literatures and Cultures writes:
As a part of the Spanish and Portuguese Lecture Series at UMass, I am pleased to invite you to Professor Ticio Quesada’s talk on Thursday April 21, 2011. Dr. Emma Ticio Quesada, from Syracuse University, studies the acquisition of some aspects of nominal expressions by children acquiring simultaneously English and Spanish as their first language in the Syracuse area. The title of her presentation is “The emergence of Determiners in Spanish-English early bilinguals.”
Dr. Ticio has recently published a Spanish-English longitudinal database in the international database repository CHILDES (Child Language Data Exchange System), and is involved in the creation of a larger Spanish-English longitudinal database to support research in the Spanish-English bilingualism field.
You can find more information about Dr. Ticio at http://as-cascade.syr.edu/profiles/pages/ticio.quesada-m.emma.html
The talk will be held in Herter Hall 206 at 3:00pm on Thursday April 21st 2011. Pizza and refreshments will be served.
