WSCLA 24, the 24th Workshop on the Structure and Constituency of the Languages of the Americas, will take place at the University of Maryland, College Park on May 9-11, 2019. 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:
- M. Ryan Bochnak (Konstanz)
- Hilaria Cruz (Louisville)
- Henry Davis (UBC)
- Yuni Kim (Essex)
- Carol-Rose Little (Cornell)
- Taylor Miller (SUNY Oswego)
- Ryan DeCaire (Toronto)
We expect a volume of conference proceedings to appear in the UBCWPL series.
