The Atlantic Provinces Linguistic Association 2024 Meeting (APLA2024)

Oct. 25, 2024 – Oct. 26, 2024

Following from UNESCO’s sustainable development goals, the theme for APLA 2024, is “Language, Diversity and Inclusion” and serves to check the pulse on how linguistics and language-related fields of study have positioned themselves with respect to these goals. In the spirit of building capacities for community engagement, APLA invites both scholars and stakeholders from a variety of backgrounds to learn from each other and generate partnerships around shared interests.

APLA meetings have traditionally been a platform for discussion focusing on language varieties – those spoken and used in the Atlantic region of Canada – but the conference does not have any boundaries in terms of empirical or theoretical coverage. We invite all linguists, language-related researchers, and community partners in language-related research as well as any interested stakeholders to this open and stimulating event.

We eagerly envision a weekend of sharing experience and research via workshops, presentations, and conversations between scholars, and members of medical, political, educational, Indigenous communities and organizations, as well as other public stakeholders interested in language-based research and/or its roles in achieving global Sustainable Development Goals.

The format of the event – in-person, hybrid, or online – will be dependent on the preferences of those whose abstracts are selected for participation. The schedule will be posted on this webpage when finalized.
