The Department of Linguistics at the University of British Columbia is pleased to host the 37th annual Northwest Linguistics Conference (NWLC) from May 14-16, 2021, held virtually in Vancouver, BC. We are inviting graduate and undergraduate students to submit abstracts for 30 minute talks (20 minute presentation/10 minute discussion), or for presentation of a poster, in any area of theoretical or applied linguistics.
The NWLC is an annual conference, hosted on an alternating basis by Simon Fraser University, University of British Columbia, University of Victoria, and University of Washington. The conference is an opportunity for students to present their research, and make connections with their peers and other researchers.
Note that the conference will be held virtually, with presentations and question sessions conducted through Zoom.
Invited speakers:
- Dr. Miikka Silfverberg, UBC
- Dr. Neda Todorović, UBC
- Samuel Akinbo, UBC
This year we will have two special themed sessions:
(1) Linguistics and indigenous languages;
(2) Computational linguistics;
We encourage submissions related to one of the special sessions outlined above, although abstracts in any area of linguistics are welcome.
Abstracts must be at most two pages long (including data and references), on a letter-size sheet (8”1/2 by 11”) with 1″ margins, and typed in at least 12-point font. Abstracts not conforming to this format will not be accepted. Submissions are limited to 1 individual and 1 joint abstract per author. Abstract submissions are made through EasyChair (below).
Deadline for submissions is February 9, 2021 with replies to be sent by March 26, 2021.
