It is time for the fifth annual LingDig Student Conference, a growing event where LingDig students gather to present and share any ongoing or finished academic work of their own. This is a great opportunity to share your projects with your fellow students and teaching staff, and to get some feedback from everyone! This year, the conference will take place on Monday, May 13th, in Metsätalo room 4.
The conference will be as multilingual as presenters and attendants want to make it. Presenters are encouraged to present in any language(s) of their choice, and make their presentation understandable to their audience through interpretation, slides in English, or a translated handout, for example. If your language is underrepresented in academic settings, now is an ideal time to proudly use it, even if it feels a bit awkward.
All LingDig students and students of LingDig-related subjects in the old system: especially, but not exclusively, General Linguistics, Language Technology, Phonetics, Finnish and Finno-Ugrian Languages, African and Asian Languages, as well as teachers and researchers affiliated with LingDig, are warmly invited to join the fifth edition of the LingDig Student Conference.
If you have any questions about the conference, please email us at lingdig-conference[at]helsinki.fi.
