ALC17: Arizona Linguistics Circle 17 The University of Arizona Tucson, AZ, United States, October 27-28, 2023

We are pleased to invite talk proposals for Arizona Linguistics Circle 17 (ALC 17). ALC is an annual graduate student-run conference held at the University of Arizona. Our goal is to foster a deeper appreciation for linguistics while providing a healthy environment for academic discussion, especially as it concerns graduate student research.

Paper Abstracts

The theme of this year's conference is Collaborative work in Linguistics, that is the ways in which we have worked to adapt to the unique challenges of a pandemic, found new ways to conduct research remotely, and made ethical considerations in using different modalities. However, abstracts from all areas of linguistics are encouraged.

Workshop Abstracts

We are also inviting proposals for one- to two-hour long workshops on the theme of Collaborative work in Linguistics with the realm of experimentation, fieldwork, and data collection. Example workshops include, but are not limited to, improving sound quality in remote fieldwork, getting the most from online crowdsourcing or experimentation platforms, setting up remote speech collection experiments, and more. Workshop submissions from students are especially welcome.
