&lt;p&gt;Currently, I continue to contribute to the project through data creation, extraction, and cleaning, as well as running statistical analyses and creating visualizations.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>The Mirror Principle Violations Project</title><link>https://leeannvc.com/en/labs/neil/</link><pubDate>Sun, 01 Aug 2021 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://leeannvc.com/en/labs/neil/</guid><description>&lt;!-- I served as a Grad Assistant for [Dr. Neil Myler's](https://sites.google.com/site/neilmylerlinguist/) Mirror Principle Violations Project, where I surveyed existing descriptive materials on a wide range of languages to describe the interactions between causative and applicative morphemes. --&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I worked as a graduate assistant on
Mirror Principle Violations Project, which is one component of the SULa Lab’s research on argument structure and morphology.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;My role was to survey descriptive materials for a set of under-researched languages, including Indonesian, Wichita, West Greenlandic, Yagua, and Zulu, and document how causative and applicative morphology behaves in each case.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For each language I summarized typological morphology/syntax facts, recorded which markers were used for causatives versus applicatives, checked whether the same marker could do both jobs, and noted whether the sources discussed when both markings appeared on the same verb.&lt;/p&gt;
