Signaling Without Saying: The Semantics and Pragmatics of Dogwhistles
Title of Colloquium: Signaling Without Saying: The Semantics and Pragmatics of Dogwhistles
Dr. Robert Henderson is an Associate Professor of Linguistics and affiliated with the Second Language Acquisition and Teaching (SLAT) Ph.D. program at the University of Arizona. His research is in formal semantics and pragmatics. Dr. Henderson's special focus is on the indigenous languages of Mesoamerica (especially Mayan languages), of which he has done many years of fieldwork. He works to describe, document, and analyze these languages in their own right, while also discovering what they can tell us about how human languages work in general.
