Recette: Coupe de yogourt et muesli aux pommes et à l'érable par Pascale April

Ça prend environ 15 minutes à faire au total.

Ingrédients:
250 ml (1 tasse) de flocons d'avoine (gruau)
125 ml (1/2 tasse) d'amandes effilées, grillées
125 ml (1/2 tasse) de pommes séchées, hachées
60 ml (1/4 tasse) de raisins secs
180 ml (3/4 tasse) de céréales de riz grillé (type Rice Krispies)
125 ml (1/2 tasse) de sirop d'érable
125 ml (1/2 tasse) de cassonade
30 ml (2 c. à soupe/table) de beurre

Préparation:
Dans un bol, mélanger les flocons d'avoine, les amandes, les pommes, les
raisins et les céréales. Réserver.
Dans une petite casserole, porter à ébulition le sirop d'érable, la
cassonade et le beurre. Chauffer jusqu'à ce que le thermomètre à bonbons
indique 112 C, environ 5 minutes. Retirer du feu.
Ajouter les ingrédients sec et bien mélanger.
Répartir sur une plaque tapissée de papier parchemin. Laisser refroidir.
Émietter au besoin.
Au service, alterner dans une grande coupe des étages de yogourt nature,
de muesli et de fruits.
Conserver le reste de muesli dans un contenant fermé, dans un endroit sec.

Mes suggestions:
Rien n'empêche d'essayer la recette même si vous n'avez pas de thermomètre
à bonbons. Si vous mettez le rond à 'hi' ça prend vraiment environ 5
minutes...
Ensuite, vous pouvez remplacer les raisins sec et les pommes séchées par
autre d'autres aliments déshydratés (ex. canneberges, abricot, figues,
dattes, etc.)
Finalement, la même chose prévaut pour les amandes si vous êtes alergiques
au noix et le gruau si vous n'aimez pas cette céréale...
Les possibilités dépendent de votre imagination. L'enrobage sera toujours
délicieux....

	A short report about NWLC - 22 by Reza Falahati

The NorthWest Linguistics Conference (NWLC) is an annual conference for graduate students in linguistics, which allows them to share their work in a very friendly and relaxed atmosphere. The venue rotates on a four-year cycle, between Simon Fraser University, the University of Victoria, the University of Washington, and the University of British Columbia. This year, the NWLC - 22 was hosted in Vancouver by SFU (see picture above), on February 18 and 19. One of the things I like about this conference is that it covers most aspects of theoretical and applied linguistics.

The NWLC – 22 had two parallel sessions featuring almost 40 talks. Session A covered mostly phonology and phonetic-related topics, while session B was mostly attended by people interested in syntax. However, people switched between sessions so as not to miss the talks that were from other areas and fell somewhere within the linguistics field.

The talks given by the two keynote speakers brought all the audience together in the same room. The first talk made me reminisce about the course I took with Dr. MacKay in our department last term. Dr. Murray J. Munro gave an interesting talk on accent and intelligibility in L2 speech production. He reported on his study, which focused on detecting foreign accent. The properties of L2 speech that affect our perception of accent strength and comprehensibility were also discussed in his talk. It was interesting to learn that foreign accents are easily detected by naïve listeners, even when no segmental or prosodic information is available. He pointed out that accentedness is related to, but is different from speech intelligibility.

Dr. Donna Gerdts, who was the second keynote speaker, gave a very informative talk on numeral classifiers in Halkomelem. She mentioned that of the 120 lexical suffixes in Halkomelem Salish, twenty-four function as numeral classifiers. Some of these suffixes, she continued, refer to the natural environment or material culture and allow us to draw a picture of the most important items in the pre-contact lifestyle—people, waterfowl, fish, trees, plants, ground, firewood, houses, canoes, paddles, and garments. Most inanimates are classified based on their shape. She mentioned that, historically, the classifier meaning often springs from the concrete semantics of the source noun extending to a more abstract use as a classifier. She also added that some aspect of the noun—its shape, function, or most prominent feature—is highlighted in the classifier semantics.

In the evening of the second day after the conference had ended and I was on the ferry heading over to Victoria to visit my professors and old friends there, I had lots of things to review in my mind: the new people I had met, gaining more insight into the work of my peers, the very fun party in the evening of the first day of the conference, the very nice offer of a ride which a number of us received to go to the top of Burnaby mountain to see more of the beauty of Vancouver, the SFU professor who kindly gave some of us a ride to the ferry station, and finally, catching the ferry just two minutes before it sailed to Victoria!!!

I was also wondering whether someday I could be a good host in Ottawa, like the person who kindly provided me with a place to crash at during the two days of the conference in Vancouver. I thought that I had lots of things to share with my classmates and friends when I go back to Ottawa. For instance, that they should not miss the NWLC -23 which will be held in beautiful British Columbia, BUT this time at the University of Victoria. In addition, that they should visit the Royal BC Museum, Butchart Gardens, Inner Harbour and go for whale watching once they are in Victoria for the NWLC - 23. Finally, it occurred to me that I need to work harder so I can have a paper ready by then! Here is a picture of Victoria U campus.
