Note about the Symposium Format
Since Northwestern University established Chicago Language Symposium in 1999 it has always been a modest-sized meeting that allowed for a lively and sustained conversation amongst its participants over the course of the Symposium’s sessions. In order to preserve that highly valued aspect of the meeting, in 2022 the Chicago Language Symposium:
- has been conceived as a primarily in-person event
- will allow for participants to attend remotely, however,
- opportunities for remote-participant interaction during sessions will be limited (due to the venue)
- all presenters must attend in-person
We thank you in advance for your understanding and consideration.
