A good lexical database is an indispensable tool for linguists wishing to understand the sound patterns that characterize a given language. In this presentation, I will investigate a number of sound patterns of English by exploring a lexical database compiled at Carnegie Mellon University. I will use the findings to motivate hypotheses about the nature of linguistic knowledge, and present the results of experiments which test these hypotheses.
Presented by Jeff Underwood (Computer Animation and Game Development).
Virtual reality and 360 Degree Video put interactive engagement with historical sites and imaginary spaces within reach of scholars and students. This presentation will review current visualization technology while allowing participants to see its applicability in games, self-directed learning, and research.
Presented by Corey Sparks (English).
Hypertext is often associated with “choose your own adventure” narratives, in which a player/reader makes choices that affect the path a narrative takes. Twine, a popular online, open access hypertext platform, is usually used to produce such narrative games. I am interested in the ways that such a platform can be used instead to play with poetic rather than narrative forms. This talk includes a workshop; audience members are encouraged to bring an electronic device with them.
