For over thirty years the Northwest Linguistics Conference (NWLC) has been held, on an alternating basis, by linguistics graduate students at four major universities in British Columbia and Washington State: the University of Washington, the University of British Columbia, Simon Fraser University, and the University of Victoria.
The Department of Linguistics at the University of Victoria is pleased to host the 39th annual Northwest Linguistics Conference. The conference will be a hybrid format, with options to attend in-person in Victoria, British Columbia, or attend virtually. The conference will run May 13–May 14, 2023.
The theme for this year’s conference will be “community-building”. This could include building community between disciplines, between academic and non-academic institutions, between individual language practitioners and workers, or between entire language communities. Specific examples include the coming together of linguists and computer scientists in areas such as computational linguistics, or the collaboration between linguists, language workers, and language communities in areas such as Indigenous language revitalization and reclamation.
