There was a big crowd of UW-Madison linguists at the Linguistic Society of America (LSA) annual meeting in New York City this January, as well as at the concurrent meeting of the American Dialect Society.
In an exciting initiative, our Linguistics Student Org received a grant from Associated Students of Madison to help support several undergrad Linguistics majors to attend the conference too!
