CLAS Director and Professor of Hispanic and Lusophone Linguistics at the Department of Spanish and Portuguese, Dr. Scott Schwenter delivered one of the keynote speaker addresses at Dialogos XXI, the Graduate Student Conference of the Department of Spanish and Portuguese at Indiana University-Bloomington. Dr. Schwenter's keynote “Why (not) 2PL? Thoughts on a class of snubbed address forms” focused on the lack of use of second person plural (2PL) address forms in Spanish and Portuguese languages (such as vosotros and ustedes). Additionally, Dr. Schwenter led a workshop titled “Speaker Evaluations of Indirect Object (Non-)Doubling in Spanish: An Experimental Approach.”

To learn more about their research on second person plural (2PL) address forms in Spanish, see Dr. Schwenter and Dr. Morgan's articles "Vosotros vs. ustedes: Asymmetries in 2PL pronouns across Spanish dialects" and "Vosotros, ustedes, and the myth of the symmetrical Castilian pronoun system."
