Meeting Description:

The aim of this conference is to provide an open and widely accessible 
forum to researchers, scholars, and postgraduate and undergraduate 
students, with research issues from all fields of Linguistics and TESOL.

The main feature that distinguishes this conference is its focus on freedom:
Freedom from linguistic sub-field divisions;
Freedom from an established and rigid theme for presentations;
Freedom from fees!

presentations, or hot topics.

presentation, and 10 minutes for questions/discussion.

Colloquia:  Colloquia will be 90 minutes in length. Their internal structure is 
up to their organisers, but sufficient time for discussion is encouraged.
