Rob Truswell (University of Edinburgh)<\/em><\/p>\n Tuesday 24 April 2018, 11:00\u201312:30 This is a talk in two parts. The first part is a case study in syntactic change, trying to make sense of a brief window in Middle English when virtually all free relatives were introduced by \u201cthat\u201d. This period can only be understood by a generalization of standard models of grammar change, aiming to capture the following insight: Grammars are largely composed of associations between pieces of form and pieces of meaning, so grammar change is change in those sets of associations.<\/p>\n The second part of the talk describes some pilot work with Richard Blythe and Simon Kirby, modelling the dynamics of change in those terms. I give some preliminary results from those models, and discuss next steps.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" What\u2019s \u2018that\u2019?
