Submission Deadline: 07-Jul-2025

The LSA Annual Meeting is a premier gathering of linguists and linguistics students from throughout the profession and around the world. It is an unparalleled opportunity to share research and learn about developments across the full range of disciplinary subfields, including the scholarship of teaching and learning in linguistics. It is also the perfect place to engage in professional development, network, and socialize with your colleagues from academia, industry, government, and the non-profit world.

The Annual Meeting includes activities geared to professional development for linguists at all stages of their careers and contains many programs and events of interest to students, who make up one-third of attendees. The Five-minute Linguist and Word of the Year events are bright spots in the Annual Meeting schedule. These fun-filled evening sessions brings hundreds of linguists into the same space to vote on the best 5-minute presentation of research findings for a general audience, and to select the Word of the Year, as well as the emoji of the year, the euphemism of the year, and more. LEXING provides a place of community, connection, and professional development for linguists working in industry, non-profits, and government.
