Meeting Description:

We are pleased to announce that the 2023 annual conference of the
Linguistic Association of Canada and the United States will be held
July 5-7, 2023, at The University of Toledo, in Toledo, Ohio, USA, and
will be hosted by the Department of World Languages and Cultures. The
conference theme is “Linguistics and Communication: Research and
Teaching / Learning”.

Linguistics and communication are two areas of the human experience
that are characterized by both uniformity and ongoing change. The very
nature of linguistics and communication makes them attractive to many
disciplines in the humanities and the social sciences. Both areas
attracted, and continue to attract, scholars from different
disciplines because of their interdisciplinary nature and their
importance in understanding humans, groups and communities. In
addition, research and teaching/learning have a cyclic relationship
where each impacts the other directly and indirectly. This year’s
LACUS conference theme: Linguistics and Communication: Research and
Teaching/Learning, welcomes submissions from all disciplines that look
at topics related to this theme.

Final Call for Papers:

The deadline for submitting abstracts for the LACUS 2023 conference
has been extended to March 15, 2023.

The 2023 annual conference of the Linguistic Association of Canada and
the United States, our 49th annual conference, will be held July 5-7,
2023, at The University of Toledo, in Toledo, Ohio, USA, and will be
hosted by the Department of World Languages and Cultures.

Our plenary speaker this year will be Linda Rouillard of the
University of Toledo. Papers by colleagues from around the world will
be presented over the three days of the conference, and the dates of
various other events will be announced soon.

The conference theme is Linguistic Journeys: Linguistics and
Communication: Research and Teaching / Learning

All presentations will be available to both onsite and remote
participants.  All onsite presentations will also be Zoomed.  All
virtual (Zoomed) presentations will be available in the same rooms as
the face-to-face one.

Abstracts.  While abstracts presenting empirically grounded
investigations in any theoretical framework into aspects of the
conference theme are especially welcome, LACUS invites abstracts
representing a broad range of approaches to language, including
interdisciplinary topics and innovative ideas.  The following list of
topics is intended as suggestive rather than comprehensive or
restrictive.

- Environmental linguistics
- Sociolinguistics
- Ethnolinguistics
- Context and meaning
- International communication
- Group interactions in different settings
        - Online communication
- Political discourse
- Discourse and social distancing
- Speaking and hearing under stress
- Personal / media bias in communication
- Anything else in general / historical linguistics

Abstracts must be submitted online. The abstract submission page, with
guidelines, including a detailed schedule for abstract submissions,
can be found here:
