Linguistic Sub-field: General Linguistics

Meeting Description:

The aim of the conference is to provide a platform for postgraduate
students from a range of disciplines to present new research to an
interested and friendly audience. The scope of the conference is
deliberately broader than that currently offered at post-graduate
level, and in this way we aim to create a forum for interdisciplinary
discussion, bringing together the disparate threads of research in
language. CamLing - The University of Cambridge Second Postgraduate
Conference on Language Research will take place on 19 March 2004 at
the Law Faculty Building, West Road, Cambridge, UK. The preliminary
program is as follows:
