Further detail
The Cambridge University Linguistic Society (LingSoc) aims to bring together members of the university with an interest in language. We meet every other week during term time, attracting speakers from a variety of departments and institutions both inside and outside Cambridge. Meetings are held on Thursday afternoons and start at 16.30. During the 2021-2022 academic year, we are suspending in-person meetings and we will be hosting all of our talks exclusively online. Participants are encouraged to ask questions following each talk. We are a student-led initiative and are largely dependent on membership fees to organise our talks and events. We encourage people to support LingSoc by becoming a member via our website. We look forward to welcoming you! https://philarion.mml.cam.ac.uk/CamLingSoc/ If you have a question about this list, please contact: Tim Laméris; lingsoc; Onkar Singh.
