Independent Linguists Meet

Dear fellow IGDORE scholars,

As you know, I am a linguist and I do research on Linguistics. I am trying to form a research group of linguists and would like to invite interested parties to participate. If anyone is interested, please get in touch with me (keith.tse@igdore.org). As Linguistics is a multidisciplinary subject that interfaces with many disciplines (cognitive science, biological evolution, computational methods, statistics, social sciences, humanities), this initiative is intended to be all-inclusive, and so even if you do not work on a specific topic in Linguistics and would still like to take part or observe out of interest, please do not hesitate to get in touch. The idea is to meet on a regular basis and discuss our respective work (in Linguistics or any other interrelated discipline), which can serve as a forum for sharing ideas and exploring collaborative opportunities. Hope to hear from many of you!

All best,

Keith

Thanks @Gavin! Hi @keithtse, as you might know I identify more as a psycho-linguist than a linguist, and I am not super active at the moment (I work on a basis of one paper per year, I’d say) but if psych-related stuff can be of interest count me in!

Thanks for your interest @eleonora.marocchini ! Please send me an email (keith.tse@igdore.org) so that we could touch base. For me, it would be great to have you join us as we have a diverse group of linguists and it is our goal to bring everyone together and discuss things. As I am a Romance linguist, your native intuitions in Italian and Piedmontese/Torinese would also be invaluable. :grin: Speriamo molto di sentirti! :handshake:

Many thanks to those who have participated in and contributed to our newly formed Independent Linguists Meet working group! Since our first meeting on 6th June, we have had five meetings in five consecutive weeks, which is phenomenal. In our first meeting, I presented a presentation on my background as a linguist and what our group could consider in developing our agenda. The recording can be watched on my blogpost:

Many thanks again to those who have joined, and if anyone else would still like to take part, please feel free to contact me (keith.tse@igdore.org) so that I could add you to our mailing-list. Look forward to our next meeting in two weeks’ time!
