We are pleased to invite talk proposals for Arizona Linguistics Circle 18 (ALC 18). ALC 18 is an annual graduate student-run conference held at the University of Arizona. Our goal is to foster a deeper appreciation for linguistics while providing a healthy environment for academic discussion, especially as it concerns graduate student research. However, we happily invite submissions from scholars at all points in their careers, including undergraduate.
The theme of this year’s conference is Language at Work. We take this to mean linguistics which span more than theoretical implications. We are especially hoping to see submissions from linguistic applications in Indigenous language revitalization, government and law, social and civil contexts, and technology. However, abstracts from all areas of linguistics are welcome and encouraged.
This year, we plan to conduct an in-person conference. We may be open to select presentations online, but this will not be an online conference.
Submission instructions:
Abstract may not exceed 500 words (not including keywords, references, figures, and tableaux). Please keep in mind that this is a general conference and thus those who are reading your abstracts may not be well-versed in your area of expertise. Define your terms.
Presentations will consist of 20-minute talks with 10-minute Q&A
Poster session will be at least one hour long. Posters will be a standard 36” by 48” size. We will share recommendations for local poster printing if you are traveling.
Authors are limited to one individual and one joint abstract
Only anonymized submissions will be accepted
Submissions open: July 17, 2025 - Aug. 15, 2025
