Meeting Description:

Linguistics has diversified into an array of subfields, each of which exemplifies an important facet of the science. However, the need for diversity and cooperation is ever-present. Since 2014, LSUGA has endeavored to host a yearly conference that serves to showcase the interdisciplinarity and interrelations of linguistics. Our ILC focuses on the interdisciplinarity of linguistics with other fields and even the interface between its different subfields. This conference aims to showcase linguistic experiences that have had positive results when incorporating two or more subfields in order to solve a problem or answer a research question. Whether it is the marriage of formal and functional theory or a joint venture between separate disciplines, working together provides researchers with a way to handle data and analyze findings in new and innovative ways.

Therefore, both formal and applied work is enthusiastically accepted!  In 2015, there will be a special session for research on Amer-Indian and other indigenous languages, so those who work in these areas are especially encouraged to apply.

2nd Call for Papers:

The 2nd Interdisciplinary Linguistics Conference hosted by the Linguistics Society at the University of Georgia is pleased to announce a call for abstracts that emphasize research that bridges gaps between subfields or theories of linguistics.

This year's conference committee is currently accepting abstracts from the undergraduate, graduate, and professional levels both in the United States and internationally. Linguistics students, professionals in academia, and those who work in the private sector are all encouraged to submit. A special session will take place which will focus on Amerindian Languages of North and South America. If you conduct research in this area, we would be very interested in your attendance and/or presentation.

Please send an abstract of no more than 500 words, and if your submission is chosen, please be prepared to give a twenty minute presentation on your research topic.

If you have questions, please view our website at: http://www.lsuga.com/conference

You may submit abstracts or questions to: ugalinguistics at gmail.com
