The Department of Linguistics regularly hosts conferences at which linguistic research is presented, including our own student-run Illinois Language and Linguistics Society. The weekly Department Seminar, held Mondays at 4:00, 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.
