We are pleased to announce the 16th Annual Meeting of the Illinois Language and Linguistics Society (ILLS16) is now open for registration!  ILLS is an annual graduate student-run linguistics conference aimed primarily at providing graduate and advanced undergraduate students a friendly venue in which to present and discuss research on any topic related to language and linguistics.

ILLS16 will be held from March 1 to 2, 2024 at I Hotel & Illinois Conference Center (1900 S 1st St, Champaign, IL 61820). We welcome all U of I students who are interested in linguistics.

The conference theme for ILLS16 is “Language, Mind, and Society.”  We hold that an interdisciplinary exchange of ideas and a collaborative approach to language from a multitude of avenues is fundamental to the advancement of language research and the subsequent understanding of our world, cultures, and societies. Our plenary speakers include:

• Dr. Michael Tanenhaus (University of Rochester)
