Linguists’ Day

The Linguists’ Day is a place for meeting and exchange for linguists from Belgium and its neighbouring countries, whatever their research interests and theoretical frameworks. It often takes place in early May and is organized in a Belgian university.

LSB members are welcome to present their work (in one of the three national languages or in English) at the annual Linguists’ Day.

The Proceedings of the Linguists’ Day are published in the Papers of the Linguistic Society of Belgium.
