Meeting Description:

The Georgetown University Round Table (GURT) on Languages and Linguistics was
first held in 1949 and has been held every year since, covering a wide range
of topics differing from year to year.

The theme of GURT 2019 is Linguistics and the Public Good: Representing the
Language of Underrepresented Groups.

As linguists, we serve the public good in expanding knowledge of the diversity
and universality of linguistic aspects of human cognition and social
interaction.  One of the best ways to expand this knowledge is through the
description and analysis of languages and language varieties that are
underrepresented in the literature.  But we also have a responsibility to
serve the public good by advocating for those whose languages and dialects we
analyze, especially those groups who are underrepresented and under-served in
society at large.

For GURT 2019, we invite submissions for papers and posters on the topic of
representing the language of underrepresented groups, in both senses of the
word “represent.”  As linguists, we serve the public good in expanding
knowledge of the diversity and universality of linguistic aspects of human
cognition and social interaction.  One of the best ways to expand this
knowledge is through the description and analysis of languages and language
varieties that are underrespresented in the literature.  But we also have a
responsibility to serve the public good by advocating for those whose
languages and dialects we analyze, especially those groups who are
underrepresented and under-served in society at large. Submissions on all
aspects of the theme of “Linguistics and the public good” are invited, and we
specifically encourage submissions on the following themes:
