What happens when Spanish meets Italian?

[Kirstin Menoff]

Ever wondered why Buenos Aires Spanish *sounds* a little different? This
talk explores how mass Italian immigration may have left its mark not only
on the vocabulary of Argentinian Spanish, but its melody as
well—specifically, how Spanish speakers in Buenos Aires use pitch and
intonation and how that differs from "typical" Spanish. What does "typical"
mean anyway here? We’ll dive into that as well.  Come to discover the
surprisingly musical side of language and what happens when two languages
collide.

Join us October 28, 2026 in the Alumni Conference Room, in the ACC, from 12
- 1 P.M.
