CECIL'S 3 Call For Papers

We are pleased to announce the Third Central European Conference in Linguistics for postgraduate Students (CECIL'S 3), to be held on 22-23 August 2013 at Peter Pazmany Catholic University (PPCU), Hungary.

The two-day conference aims to bring together postgraduate students in linguistics from a wide range of research areas, providing an interdisciplinary forum for students to present and discuss their work in an intellectually stimulating and informal setting.

The event will take place at the picturesque campus of PPCU just outside Budapest, and is hosted by the Department of Theoretical Linguistics of PPCU.
