The Undergraduate Linguistics Association of Britain (ULAB) was founded in 2011. Since then, ULAB has hosted an annual conference which aims to give undergraduate students, and recent graduates, a chance to showcase their research. The ULAB 2022 conference will be hosted by the University of Edinburgh in a hybrid format, with participation both in-person and online being an option for attendees. The conference is being organised by a group of undergraduate students at the University of Edinburgh. Every year, a prize sponsored by the Linguistics Association of Great Britain (LAGB) is awarded to the best presentation, as voted on by the conference attendees. The prize consists of free LAGB membership for a year and the opportunity to attend and present the research at the following LAGB Annual Meeting with full funding, as well as the option to receive coaching and advice in presenting at academic conferences with a member of the LAGB committee.
Submission Guidelines
Submission Guidelines
Please submit an abstract of no more than 500 words. If you have not written an abstract before, you can find a helpful guide to writing an abstract on our website here: https://www.ulab.org.uk/about-ulab
All submissions must fall within the field of linguistics. As this is an undergraduate conference, the bulk of the work for all submissions must have been carried out whilst the author was an undergraduate student of linguistics or a related discipline, and so long as their undergraduate studies were completed no more than three years prior to submitting the abstract. We accept abstracts from students all over the world! You don't have to be studying at a British University to apply, and we gladly welcome abstracts from further afield. All abstract submissions must be in English, but presentations can be in English or BSL. If you wish to present in BSL please email us at ulablinguistics@gmail.com to let us know.
This year there will be three different types of presentation: full-length talks (roughly 15-20 minutes), short talks (roughly 5-10 minutes) and poster presentations, and you will be asked to indicate in the submission form what your preferred presentation type is.
