49th Linguistic Symposium on Romance Languages

The Department of Romance Languages and the Department of Linguistics at the University of Georgia are proud to be hosting the 49th Linguistic Symposium on Romance Languages (LSRL), the premier venue in the western hemisphere for language and linguistics researchers interested in French, Italian, Portuguese, Spanish, and a number of other languages that belong to the Romance Language family. This conference, held annually, is an internationally recognized showcase for cutting-edge research that attracts scholars from around the globe.

This year’s conference theme, Expanding Horizons in Romance Linguistics, represents the increasingly diverse range of theories and methods that are used to analyze natural language phenomena. In keeping with this theme, the conference will host a workshop on Corpora and Big Data Analysis for Romance Linguists. This special session will focus on the representation of Romance Languages in the contexts of computational techniques in linguistic analysis and will be targeted to UGA faculty and students (graduates and undergraduates).
