Meeting Description:

The 2024 annual conference of the Linguistic Association of Canada and
the United States, our 50th LACUS conference, will be held July 17-19,
2024, at The University of Waterloo and Saint Jerome’s University, in
Ontario, Canada, and will be hosted by the Department of French
Studies of the University of Waterloo, with local host Svetlana
Kaminskaïa.
The conference theme is "Languages without borders."

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 ones.

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 found at www.lacussquare.org.

The Ruth Brend Fund provides financial support to help defray costs of
attending LACUS meetings for members from countries with weak
currencies.  The Presidents Prize Fund helps pay for prizes awarded to
the best student and post-doctoral papers presented at each annual
LACUS conference.

2nd Call for Papers:
