Meeting Description:

The ILLS annual conference is proud to be entirely student-organized and
operated by the Linguistics Student Organization at the University of Illinois
at Urbana-Champaign. It is a general linguistics conference open to all
subfields and primarily encourages the submission of abstracts by graduate
students. As ILLS moves into its second decade, we hope to continue our
tradition of providing scholars an opportunity to exchange ideas and present
their research. 

Our theme this year is ''Language, Learning, and Technology: Linguistics in
the 21st Century''. Although we welcome submissions from every field of
linguistics, we especially encourage those related to our two sub-themes of
language acquisition and language technology to apply. Our invited speakers
reflect the diversity of fields working towards a better understanding of how
language is acquired and how better to use technology for language research
and translation.

Plenary Speakers: 

Jennifer Cole (Northwestern University) 
Alejandro Cuza (Purdue University) 
Nan Jiang (University of Maryland) 
Lane Schwartz (University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign) 
Annie Tremblay (Kansas University) 
Kara Warburton (University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign)

IN ADDITION

On Thursday, April 25, there will also be a Sociolinguistics Symposium. The
focus for this symposium will be ''Acts of Identity.''  Identity construction,
as performative acts in the intersection of race, ethnicity, class, gender,
sexuality, and nationality, presents opportunities for us to theorize on
language as the quintessential human-social activity. This session invites
abstracts that focus on various semiotic practices --including but not limited
to codeswitching, stance-taking, lexical choice, script choice, and phonetic
variation--of identity-construction/meaning-making in different modalities
(spoken, written, visual).
