PhilSoc Council is pleased to announce that its Nov 09 meeting will continue its recent tradition of taking place in the North. A one-day conference on corpus-based advances in historical linguistics will be held on Sat 14 Nov 09 at the University of York.
Previous Seasons Meetings
PhilSoc welcomes proposals for papers to be read at meetings. Proposals should be forwarded to the Honorary Secretary (contact details on the Contact page). Papers may be on any topic falling within the scope of PhilSoc's interests, but speakers are asked to bear in mind that the audience will represent a wide range of linguistic interests, and papers should therefore be accessible to non-specialists.
