This year’s event includes a poster session featuring the work of our department’s graduate students\, followed by a keynote talk titled “On the nature of word-internal language mixing” by Dr. Faruk Akkuş of the University of Massachusetts\, Amherst. The Colloquium is free for all who present or attend; there is no registration fee. \nThis talk deals with the language mixing patterns in the verbal and nominal domains of Turkish\, Anatolian Arabic and Northern Kurdish\, initially investigated in Akkuş 2025. In that study\, I proposed the No-Reversal Constraint (NRC)\, which prohibits switching back to a language that has been externalized earlier in the derivation. Focusing on rarely studied trilingual settings\, this talk broadens the empirical coverage of this constraint\, and addresses two issues left unaddressed in Akkuş 2025. I demonstrate that word-internal language mixing takes place even in the absence of phonological and morphological integration\, and in some cases phonological processes do not track each other. As such\, this phenomenon cannot simply be a case of borrowing\, and the NRC applies regardless of the level of integration. Moreover\, I demonstrate that the NRC applies at the domain of morphosyntactic words\, regulating the possible permutations of switches\, and further show that the NRC is a structural\, not linear-based constraint \n\n\n\n From Friday\, April 24\, 2026 3:30 PM\n to 6:00 PM EDT\n at Smith 107.
