Hello linguistics enthusiasts! Just a quick reminder about the Linguistics Opportunities at BU event tonight:

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.

Come and hear about some of the extracurricular Linguistics-related opportunities that people have found, and get ideas about where you might look for similar opportunities as well! You can RSVP at the Facebook event: http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=193717310654477 . And you can keep up to date with the goings-on of BULA at http://bula.bu.edu . Also, to hear about the intracurricular Linguistics opportunities, don't forget next week's "Linguistics Extravaganza", featuring an information session on Linguistics study abroad opportunities, followed by the Linguistics open house: Wed Mar 2, 4-6pm in STH (School of Theology) 325. More information on that event can be found at http://ling.bu.edu or at the Facebook event: http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=202706453078081 . -Paul Begin forwarded message:

From: Lara Bryfonski Date: February 7, 2011 9:29:49 AM EST To: bula@ling.bu.edu Subject: [BULA] Spring with BULA!

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!
