Two undergraduate conferences (in Canada) have just been announced, the details are below. If you think you might have something interesting to present, consider sending an abstract. (I'd also encourage you to check in with one of us on the Linguistics faculty to discuss how to put an abstract together, if you're interested in submitting one.) There is also usually an undergraduate conference at Harvard as well, although that has not yet been announced as far as I know. The two conferences here are: McGill Canadian Conference for Linguistics Undergraduates (McCCLU 2012), conference March 9-11 abstracts due January 6 http://mccclu2012.blogspot.com/ http://linguistlist.org/confcustom/McCCLU2012/ Call for papers attached (PDF) Toronto Undergraduate Linguistics Conference (TULCon 2012), conference March 2-4 abstracts due February 5 http://homes.chass.utoronto.ca/~slugs/?s=tulcon2012 Call for papers below -Paul Begin forwarded message:
