The 13th LangUE Conference

The annual Language at the University of Essex Postgraduate Conference (LangUE) brings together postgraduate students from around the world to present and discuss current research, results and challenges from various fields of linguistics.

Organised by postgraduate students from our Department Language and Linguistics, the format of the conference includes the presentation of papers, poster presentations, workshops and a plenary panel. Proceedings are published following the conference, with all submissions being reviewed.
