    Summer 2012 | Volume Eighteen UCLA COLLEGE OF LETTERS AND SCIENCE From the Deans of the College of Letters and Science 6 10 Dear Friends, This June marks the College of Letters and Science’s 88th Commencement ceremony, as always a celebration of our 14 28 extraordinary graduates and the equally impressive faculty who guide and mentor them. It’s a time when we look ahead to the opportunities before us. It seems an appropriate moment, therefore, to introduce an entirely new look for the College Report. We have redesigned it to reflect the optimism and forward outlook that distinguishes the College and UCLA as a whole. By 18 using brighter colors and a more open design, we enhance the feature stories from each of the five divisions as well as College news and development. UCLA College of The College’s spirit is evident in the new Luskin Thought Leadership lecture series, made possible by the vision and Letters and Science generosity of Meyer Luskin and whose inaugural speaker was President Bill Clinton. It is visible in the remarkable breadth DEPARTMENTS FEATURES and diversity of accomplishment of our Commencement speakers and alumni, whose degrees span the College’s five divisions. And it is demonstrated by the groundbreaking research and world-class scholarship that the College 2 College News: Sloan, 4 The Science of Food: Recipe for a Alessandro Duranti produces every day.

Institutes for College and University Faculty provide opportunities for intensive study of texts, historical periods, ideas, and issues central to undergraduate or graduate teaching in the humanities. They take place in settings with resources suitable for research in the humanities, and they offer an environment in which faculty may examine significant material under the direction of a group of recognized scholars. They thus prepare faculty to return to their classrooms with a deeper knowledge of important scholarship in key fields of the humanities. Institutes are sponsored by colleges, universities, libraries, museums, or professional organizations. They are normally scheduled for a period of four to eight weeks during the summer. Participation is open to full-time teachers in two-year and four-year colleges and universities, with the twenty to thirty participants in a given institute selected in open competition by the institute’s staff. Participants receive stipends intended to cover the cost of travel, room, and board. Prospective participants should write or call the directors of the institutes in which they are interested. There is no need to communicate directly with the Endowment. Scholars interested in conducting an institute, however, should write or call: Higher Education Program Division of Education Programs, Room 302 National Endowment for the Humanities 1100 Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W .

    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Judeo-Spanish Encounters Modern Spanish: Language Contact and Diglossia among the Sephardim of Los Angeles and New York City A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Hispanic Languages and Literature by Bryan Kirschen 2015 © Copyright by Bryan Kirschen 2015 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Judeo-Spanish Encounters Modern Spanish: Language Contact and Diglossia among the Sephardim of Los Angeles and New York City by Bryan Kirschen Doctor of Philosophy in Hispanic Languages and Literature University of California, Los Angeles, 2015 Professor Claudia Parodi-Lewin, Co-chair Professor Antonio C. Quicoli, Co-chair For the past century, Los Angeles and New York City have been home to two of the largest Latino and Sephardic populations in the United States. Interaction between these ethnic groups, therefore, has been inevitable. However, there has been minimal research on the linguistic repercussions that have resulted from contact between these two linguistically similar yet distinct groups. From a sociolinguistic agenda, I explore how Judeo-Spanish speakers in these two metropolises utilize their language and in which domains. Furthermore, my research reveals that, among my informants (n=25), Judeo-Spanish is used as a platform to acquire proficiency in varieties of Modern Spanish. Aside from conducting sociolinguistic interviews to account for the diglossic distribution among informants, I carry out production as well as perception experiments. These experiments ii determine which features typically associated with a given variety of language are prone to transference. For the production experiment, informants engaged in conversation with a native speaker of Spanish from either Los Angeles or New York City, representing different varieties of Spanish (Los Angeles Vernacular Spanish and Dominican Spanish, respectively).
