Meeting Description:

We are pleased to announce that the 2023 annual conference of the Linguistic
Association of Canada and the United States will be held July 5-7, 2023, at
The University of Toledo, in Toledo, Ohio, USA, and will be hosted by the
Department of World Languages and Cultures. The conference theme is
“Linguistics and Communication: Research and Teaching / Learning”.

Linguistics and communication are two areas of the human experience that are
characterized by both uniformity and ongoing change. The very nature of
linguistics and communication makes them attractive to many disciplines in the
humanities and the social sciences. Both areas attracted, and continue to
attract, scholars from different disciplines because of their
interdisciplinary nature and their importance in understanding humans, groups
and communities. In addition, research and teaching/learning have a cyclic
relationship where each impacts the other directly and indirectly. This year’s
LACUS conference theme: Linguistics and Communication: Research and
Teaching/Learning, welcomes submissions from all disciplines that look at
topics related to this theme.

2nd Call for Papers:

Greetings,
This is a reminder that the deadline for submitting abstracts for the LACUS
2023 conference is February 26.
The 2023 annual conference of the Linguistic Association of Canada and the
United States, our 49th annual conference, will be held July 5-7, 2023, at The
University of Toledo, in Toledo, Ohio, USA, and will be hosted by the
Department of World Languages and Cultures.

Our plenary speaker this year will be Linda Rouillard of the University of
Toledo. Papers by colleagues from around the world will be presented over the
three days of the conference, and the dates of various other events will be
announced soon. 

The conference theme is Linguistic Journeys: Linguistics and Communication:
Research and Teaching / Learning

All presentations will be available to both onsite and remote participants. 
All onsite presentations will also be Zoomed.  All virtual (Zoomed)
presentations will be available in the same rooms as the face-to-face one.

Abstracts.  While abstracts presenting empirically grounded investigations in
any theoretical framework into aspects of the conference theme are especially
welcome, LACUS invites abstracts representing a broad range of approaches to
language, including interdisciplinary topics and innovative ideas.  The
following list of topics is intended as suggestive rather than comprehensive
or restrictive.

-  Environmental linguistics
-  Sociolinguistics
-  Ethnolinguistics
-  Context and meaning
-  International communication
-  Group interactions in different settings
  -  Online communication
-  Political discourse
-  Discourse and social distancing
-  Speaking and hearing under stress
-  Personal / media bias in communication
-  Anything else in general / historical linguistics

Abstracts must be submitted online. The abstract submission page, with
guidelines, including a detailed schedule for abstract submissions, can be
