Essex Graduate Conference in Linguistics
The Essex Graduate Conference in Linguistics (EGCL) takes place in spring each year. It provides an opportunity for postgraduate students in our Department to present
their work to our linguistics staff and student community under conference-like conditions. Presenting at the conference offers several benefits.
- Giving a presentation on your work forces you to structure and evaluate it. This in turn enables you to spot and hence remedy flaws in arguments and to identify new ways forward.
- It will enable you to get feedback from others on what you have done so far and to benefit from their advice about what you might do in the future in terms of new lines of
exploration, more appropriate tools or techniques and helpful literature.
- It is an excellent opportunity to get conference practice in friendly surroundings.
