Events and news
CamLing2010
Following a short hiatus of a few years, we are pleased to announce that the Sixth Cambridge Postgraduate Conference in Language Research (CamLing2010), organised by graduate students of the University under the auspices of CILR, will be going ahead with what promises to be an exciting and memorable event on 7 and 8 December 2010. Continuing an established tradition, this year's conference has attracted the submission of a number of outstanding papers from leading universities in the UK and abroad.
The Organising Committee is particularly delighted to welcome Dr Philip Durkin of the Oxford English Dictionary and Dr Napoleon Katsos of the Research Centre for English and Applied Linguistics of the University of Cambridge as this year's plenary speakers.
For the first time in the history of the conference and keeping up with the latest developments in academic research, CamLing2010 will feature a workshop themed 'Linguistics matters!'. The workshop will include two invited talks by Professor Peter Patrick and Professor Dick Hudson who will showcase a range of possibilities for the active involvement of graduate students in Linguistics in public engagement.
Please visit the conference website for more information on the conference program, registration, dinner and other relevant updates.
