WSCLA 25, the 25th Workshop on the Structure and Constituency of the Languages of the Americas, will take place online on May 28-30, 2021. We invite submission of abstracts for 20-minute oral presentations (with an additional 10 minutes for questions) or posters in any area of formal linguistics (including phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, and pragmatics) focusing on the Indigenous languages of North, South or Mesoamerica. We welcome papers that address experimental, diachronic, sociolinguistic, or applied topics from a formal perspective, and we are especially interested in papers that address the responsibilities of formal linguistic research with respect to the concerns and needs of Indigenous communities.

Invited speakers:

• Emily Hanink (University of Manchester)
• Annauk Olin (Massachusetts Institute of Technology)

• Hiroto Uchihara (National Autonomous University of Mexico)
