In addition to undergraduate presentations, our plenary session will feature guest faculty speakers presenting their own research on the theme:
“Language Across Time”
Every language carries traces of its past. Sounds change, words are born and forgotten, and language is constantly evolving. For LSURC’s 10th anniversary, we invite you to explore language through time. We ask how language unfolds over centuries, within a single lifetime, and in the split second it takes to produce and understand a word. Time links where we have been to where we are going. How are endangered and Indigenous languages being sustained and revitalized by their communities? How will innovations like large language models, trained on vast collections of human language, shape how we communicate tomorrow? Whether your research spans millennia or milliseconds, we hope to see your work become part of our timeline. Join us in commemorating the evolution of language and recognizing the research that continues to shape a brighter tomorrow.
