The 19th annual Lancaster Linguistics and English Language Postgraduate Conference will be held on 19-20th of June 2025. We intend to hold this year’s LAEL PG conference in person (it will be possible to attend, but not present, online).
MA and PhD students are invited to submit abstracts on linguistic research. The focus of the conference is to provide an opportunity for PG (Master’s and PhD) students and early career researchers to promote their research and gain experience in presenting their work to a wider audience and to facilitate networking and collaboration among researchers.
Abstracts from a broad range of disciplines can be submitted, including, but not limited to:
a. Cognitive linguistics
b. Discourse studies
c. Corpus linguistics
d. TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages)
e. Psycho/Neurolinguistics
f. General linguistics (for any research topics besides the above-mentioned)
Presenters will have the opportunity to have their work published in the LEAL PG Conference Report compiled by the university.
