Who: The workshop is being organized by the research group working on NSF grant BCS 2042939, “Understanding variation in African American Language: Corpus and prosodic fieldwork perspectives” (PIs Meghan Armstrong-Abrami, Lisa Green, Brendan O’Connor, and Kristine Yu). We grateful acknowledge support from the NSF for the workshop.
