The Department of English Studies at the University of Cyprus is pleased to announce the 1st Cyprus Undergraduate Linguistics Conference (CULC), which will be held at the University of Cyprus (New Campus) on the 26th April 2017 from 9:00 am to 2:00 pm. We cordially invite papers reporting undergraduate research on subjects pertaining to theoretical and experimental analysis of language structure and lexicon, language change, language and the mind, speech-language pathology and therapy, computational linguistics, linguistic variation, language and society, language use, language and writing systems, language teaching and assessment, translation, etc.
CULC is the first conference of its nature in Cyprus, and through it, students with a passion in linguistics and interesting ideas will find opportunities to share, discuss, and inspire each other through their work and the work of their peers. If you are an undergraduate student of linguistics or a recent graduate and would like to share interesting research, or have a general interest in linguistics, this event is for you.
Yeah, you're right. I forgot quotatives are complementizers, too.md0 wrote:That use yes, definitely a C, but I was thinking of its use as a reporting/quoting marker. Maybe "I was like, let's get going". There's definitely two clauses there, and "let's get going" doesn't seem like a standalone clause to me.

And I thought the "prove you're gay" tests for asylum seekers were bad...

I don't think you're far-right at all. While I'm quite liberal, over the years I've become a little more left-of-centre, because I've awoken to the realities of life and that extremely liberal ideals aren't realistic! Maybe those calling you far-right are still naive or blind to certain realities? Maybe they've never had to live in the situation you and Germany are in?
