However\, we are a long way away from full convergence to Standard Greek\, and the pancypriot variety displays linguistic vitality. In her talk\, Professor Tsiplakou examines some of the reasons why Cypriot Greek does not fully converge with Standard Greek and argues that this is due to both structural and social factors\, including the increased local prestige of the dialect. \nStavroula Tsiplakou is Associate Professor of Linguistics\, Dean of Arts\, and Academic Coordinator of the M.A. program in Greek Linguistics and Literature at the Open University of Cyprus. She holds a B.A. in Greek Literature from the University of Athens\, an M.Phil. in Linguistics from the University of Cambridge\, and a Ph.D. in Linguistics from the University of London. Her research areas include syntax\, pragmatics\, text linguistics\, sociolinguistics\, and educational linguistics. She has published in Lingua\, Linguistic Inquiry\, Pragmatics\, Journal of Pragmatics\, and Multilingua\, Linguistics and Education. She has co-authored national curricula for language in Cyprus and in Greece and she has produced digital platforms for teaching Greek as a second language. \nIn case you missed it\, please view the video of the presentation below: \n \nThe event is held under the auspices of the Embassy of Greece in the United States\, the Embassy of the Republic of Cyprus in the United States\, the Consulate General of Greece in Los Angeles\, and the Honorary Consulate of the Republic of Cyprus in Los Angeles. It is cosponsored by Thesaurus Linguae Graecae®. This program is made possible thanks to the Stavros Niarchos Foundation (SNF).
