Alexiadou and T. Guasti\n\nLangu age is generally thought to be closely related to non-linguistic thought.  We argue instead for a view where thought representations are radically c ompressed before linguistic articulation. Specifically\, we propose that t hought representations are generated independent of language and that lang uage realizes in a compressed form  Initial evidence for the account comes from syntax-semantics interface phenomena\, code-mixing and -blending\, e xpressive meaning\, and historical linguistics. In this talk\, I focus on ongoing work developing the approach by using data from large-scale (i.e. 30+ languages) comparisons of child language data.\n\n \n DTSTART:20191011T193000Z DTEND:20191011T210000Z LOCATION:room 491\, Sherbrooke 688\, CA\, QC\, Montreal\, H3A 3R1\, 688 ru e Sherbrooke Ouest SUMMARY:Guest Speaker: Uli Sauerland URL:/channels/channels/event/guest-speaker-uli-sauerla nd-301121 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
