Hello again fellow linguists! BULA has an exciting semester’s worth of events planned for you! This spring, we will be having regular discussion groups tackling a variety of rousing topics the second Tuesday of every month. We are also arranging to bring one or more linguists to join us to speak about their research later in the semester. Come and heartily discuss, debate and make new friends with BULA! Upcoming February Events: Orthography Discussion Group: Feb. 8th 7 PM @ 621 Comm Ave, B02 (Basement of the Linguistics Program Building) Are you interested in the development and use of both current and ancient writing systems? Do you practice calligraphy or speak languages written in other alphabets, or would you like to? Have you seen alphabets used in art, or even in politics? Whatever your interest, come to our open-table discussion and share your experiences! Linguistics Opportunities at BU: Feb. 24th 6:30 PM @ CAS 203 If you're a current Linguistics major or minor, or just interested in what’s going on around campus, please join us for this Panel on Linguistic Opportunities at BU. We will be discussing research assistantship opportunities students have had on campus, such as the work being done on the Medumba language in Linguistic Field Methods, work in the Aphasia Research Laboratory, the American Sign Language Linguistic Research Project, and opportunities to attend or present at several undergraduate linguistics conferences. Afterwards, you can socialize with students who have studied linguistics abroad, or discuss linguistics courses you have taken.
