The University of Oregon Department of Linguistics is pleased to be hosting the 2025 Linguistics Society of America Summer Institute, in Eugene, OR, USA from July 7 to August 8, 2025.
The Institute is the largest and most prestigious summer school for linguistics in the world, and has been held since 1928. Eugene is a city of ~170,000 people, home to the University of Oregon, located at the southern end of the beautiful Willamette Valley. Within a 90-minute drive, you will find snow-capped mountains, a gorgeous coastline, wild hot springs, deserted ocean beaches, top-notch wineries, and more.
Language in Use
The theme of the Institute is “Language in Use” and we currently have particular strengths in
- Typology
- Descriptive and functional morphosyntax
- Usage-based, learning-theoretic and constructivist approaches to language acquisition
- Language variation and change, including frequency effects therein
- Construction grammar and formulaic language
