2015 International Conference on Korean Linguistics

Abstracts are solicited for the first joint meeting of the ICKL (International Circle of Korean Linguistics) and the Harvard-ISOKL (International Symposium on Korean Linguistics) to be held on July 24-26, 2015, at the University of Chicago, in conjunction with the Summer Institute of the Linguistic Society of America.

MONDAY JULY 13 TO FRIDAY JULY 17, AT 5-6PM.

This workshop is about transforming linguistic data into logic puzzles for use in contests, entertainment, or education. We are focusing specifically on creating puzzles for high school linguistic Olympiad contests. The workshop is held in five evening sessions so that participants have time to debug and validate each others puzzles.

Please join LSA President John Rickford (Stanford University) for a discussion of how the LSA can best meet the needs of the linguistics community. Breakfast courtesy of LSA.

Like other LSA focus groups at the Institute, this focus groups will be held at Stuart 216. RSVP required. Please RSVP to intern@lsadc.org no later than July 9, 2015. Please specify which date/time you plan to attend. To ensure the quality of the discussions and due to space limitations, the cut-off for these activities is 20 participants.
