LAGB 2015 is the UK's largest general linguistics conference and welcomes submissions on any topic in the field of linguistics.

Linguistics Association Lecture 2015: Rachel Nordlinger (University of Melbourne)  - 'Title TBC'

Workshop on Morphological Complexity:

This workshop, organised by Rachel Nordlinger and Peter Ackema, will be held in conjunction with Rachel Nordlinger's Linguistics Association Lecture on Friday 18 September 2015.

Language Tutorial:

There will be a Language Tutorial on Frisian (Germanic, Indo-European; Netherlands), given by Jarich Hoeskstra (Kiel University) on Wednesday 16 and Thursday 17 September 2015.

LAGB Summer School 2015:

The LAGB Summer School 2015 will provide postgraduate students with the opportunity to attend masterclasses in linguistics, receive training opportunities, meet linguists and socialise with other postgraduate students from across the UK. The one-day LAGB Summer School will take place on Tuesday 15 September 2015. This event is co-organised by the LAGB Committee and the LAGB Student Committee.

Education Session:

The LAGB Education Committee will hold a two-hour session on a topic related to the role of linguistics in education. Further details will be available on the LAGB Education Committee website.

Call for Papers:

The LAGB welcomes submissions on any topic in the field of linguistics; papers are selected on their (perceived) merits, and not according to their subject matter or theoretical framework. We particularly welcome papers from areas of linguistics that have not been well represented in previous meetings in order to capture the diversity of linguistics research currently undertaken in the UK and beyond. All abstracts will be blind-peer-reviewed by an international committee of reviewers. Both members and non-members are invited to offer papers for the meeting. The length for papers delivered at the LAGB 2015 meeting is 20 minutes (plus 10 minutes discussion).

The deadline for submissions is Wednesday 1 April 2015. Notification of acceptance will be made in May 2015.

Call for Themed Sessions:

As well as individual abstracts, we encourage groups of speakers to submit a set of abstracts for a themed session (or panel) on any linguistic subject of their choice. Such groups will normally take up a whole session of the programme. Sessions should ideally consist of five presentations (although sessions of three or six presentations will be considered). For details of how to submit abstracts and a synopsis for a themed session, visit the call for papers and themed sessions on the conference website: http://www.lagb.org.uk/lagb2015/call

How to Submit an Abstract:

The deadline for abstracts is Wednesday 1 April 2015. 

Details of the venue, how to submit an abstract, and how to apply for a conference bursary are available from the conference website: http://www.lagb.org.uk/lagb2015

All enquiries should be sent to: conference at lagb.org.uk
