Dear all,

A few years ago, in 2017, my colleagues Susanne Chrambach, Martin Konvicka and I hosted the 18th Norddeutsches Linguistisches Kolloquium at this department. (Martin, do you have some pictures? Yes, Martin does have some pictures!) Alexander and Shuk Han gave talks, and so did Professors Anatol Stefanowitsch and Ferdinand von Mengden, so we were almost all of us in it together it seems. 🙂 The NLK is a linguistics conference series where young researchers meet in a casual atmosphere and present their work, for instance the projects for their master’s or PhD theses. We had two wonderful days with lots of linguistics (and good food as well) and we enjoy thinking back to it.

This year, NLK is hosted by students in Oldenburg, online of course, and you’re all invited! It’s a great opportunity to listen to lots of talks, meet other people who love languages and see how conferences work, even if you do not have anything to present yourselves (yet). Here’s the announcement.

They also have a poster presentation, which is great because if you decide to take “Levels” or “History” with me next semester, you’ll have to present a poster, so it can’t hurt to see what they look like. 🙂

In a nutshell: You should all go!
