The 4th Norwegian Graduate Student Conference in Linguistics and Philology (NoSLIP 2020) is organized by students for students under the aegis of the Norwegian Graduate Researcher School in Linguistics and Philology (LingPhil). This year, NoSLIP will take place at the University of Bergen from March 12-13, 2020. The conference is open to Ph.D. and master's degree students (current) and serves as an important venue for graduate and post-graduate students to present the latest research on linguistics and philology while also providing them with an opportunity to interact, collaborate, and meet with up-and-coming and established researchers from the field.

All papers must be original and not simultaneously submitted to another journal or conference. Abstracts for the following paper categories are welcome:
- Full papers or Posters covering all areas of linguistics and philology, including, but not limited to, sociolinguistics, semantics, syntax, phonology, rhetoric, and pragmatics. We hope that the conference will reflect the great variety of graduate research in the field of language studies. Please note that oral presentations should not exceed 20 minutes.
