The Department of Linguistics regularly hosts conferences at which linguistic research is presented, including our own student-run Illinois Language and Linguistics Society. The Department Seminar serves as a forum for presentation of current research by department faculty and graduate students, linguists from other departments, and outside speakers. Several more informal reading and discussion groups are also in operation.

Nominals and Nominalizations in Korean and Beyond
In this AKS (Academy of Korean Studies)-sponsored workshop, we will showcase research that address currently debated issues in the morphology, syntax, and semantics-pragmatics of nominals and nominalizations in Korean and other languages.
