Penn Linguistics Conference

    Graduate students and early-career researchers in computer science, neuroscience, psychology, and related fields who have an interest in language and linguistics are invited to attend the 48th annual Penn Linguistics Conference. Hosted by the Graduate Linguistics Society of the Penn Linguistics Department, this conference provides an exceptional opportunity to present original research, connect with peers, and stay up-to-date with the latest developments in linguistics.

    The conference will be held in person March 16th and 17th, 2024. PLC includes talk sessions and a poster session covering a wide range of topics in linguistics such as syntax, semantics, phonology, phonetics, historical linguistics, sociolinguistics, and language processing.
