Robert Le Page Lecture
Professor Aboh is a leading scholar in theoretical syntax and language creation. His research explores the learnability of human language, with a particular focus on comparative syntax across language families including Kwa, Germanic, Romance, Sinitic and Caribbean creoles. His work on the discourse-syntax interface and language change has made significant contributions to our understanding of how languages develop and evolve. Professor Aboh will give a talk on "Universal Multilingualism: From Creolistics to Theoretical Linguistics"

The Robert Le Page Lecture series honours the department's founding professor, the eminent linguist and creolist Robert Le Page (1920–2006), whose pioneering research on language contact, creolisation and multilingualism continues to shape the field today. This will be the second annual lecture in the series.
