Preface

The University of Pennsylvania Working Papers in Linguistics (PWPL) is an occasional series published by the Penn Graduate Linguistics Society. The series has included volumes of previously unpublished work, or work in progress, by linguists with an ongoing affiliation with the Department, as well as volumes of papers from NWAV and the Penn Linguistics Conference.

This volume contains selected papers from the 48th Penn Linguistics Conference, held from March 16–17, 2024 in Philadelphia, PA, at the University of Pennsylvania. All authors of oral presentations were invited to contribute a ten-page paper to this volume. We thank our authors for their contribution and their patience and understanding in this editing process. We also thank Johanna Benz, May Pik Yu Chan, Xin Gao, Christine Soh Yue, Hector J. Vazquez Martinez, Brittany Zykoski, Ruidi Huang, Pristina Koon, Emily Pecsok, and Daniel Shevchenko for their help in editing.

Since Vol. 14.2, PWPL has been an internet-only publication. As of September 2014, the entire back catalog has been digitized and made available on ScholarlyCommons@Penn.
