WISSLR is a conference in linguistics focusing on student language research at both the graduate and undergraduate levels, run by students in the graduate program in the department of linguistics at The University of Western Ontario. This event celebrates the great work of new researchers in the field, and provides students with the opportunity to share their research with peers from other institutions.
