Every year, during the spring semester, the Society of Linguistics Undergraduate Students hosts its Undergraduate Linguistics Symposium. Our 10th symposium will be taking place on April 11th, 2026!

Each presentation will be twenty minutes followed by brief questions. Research need not be completed, but there should be enough material to fill the entire twenty minutes. You may present alone or in a pair of two, but larger groups will not be accepted.

Abstract submissions are due by December 12th, 2025, at 11:59PM PST.

- Current Undergraduate Student in Linguistics or Related Field

- Abstract: One page PDF (not counting citations), Minimum 0.5 inch Margins and Minimum 10pt Font Size
