Meeting Description: 

We are excited to announce the 10th Linguistics Conference on 22 April 2016.
Undergraduate, graduate and postgraduate students are very welcome to present
their original research (e.g. for (a part of) a thesis or on a project) in a
friendly atmosphere with fellow students, researchers and lecturers. 

T.W.I.S.T., the Leiden student association for linguistics, has organized the
students’ conference for the past nine years. This edition will be extra
interesting as we are celebrating the 10th anniversary. It will be a notable
event that everyone who is interested in linguistics will surely want to
experience.

Research on all languages and all areas of linguistics are welcomed: from
descriptive linguistics to syntax and from sociolinguistics to historical
phonology. All presentations have a duration of 20 minutes and there will be
ﬁve minutes time for discussion. Some topics from past conferences are:
“Nominal tense: how Amazonian languages punch us in the face”, “The paradoxal
combination of ‘yes no’ in spoken Dutch”, “Word learning strategies in SLI
teenagers” and “Gallo-Romance in the Lex Salica”. 

What we offer:

The T.W.I.S.T. students’ conference offers you a truly academic yet open and
informal platform to present your research to fellow students and fellow
researchers from all over the country. As a speaker you are naturally invited
to attend lectures by guest speakers, students and postgraduates.
A lunch is provided.

The best papers will be selected for publication in the proceedings of the
conference.
In between lectures and during the breaks you will have plenty of
opportunities to meet and converse with fellow students, researchers and
academic lecturers. The conferences have been attended by over 70 students and
researchers.
