The Department of Linguistics of Ohio State University and the Language and Communication Science Laboratory of the University of Tsukuba are pleased to announce a joint workshop, comprising faculty and graduate students from both institutions, to be held over February 12-13, 2019. The goal of the workshop is to share research findings and have wide-ranging discussions over various aspects of linguistics. Linguistics in Tsukuba and OSU share a view of theoretical innovation and empirical accountability as mutually indispensible. This workshop will showcase work representing the respective specializations at each institute, endeavor to relate them to each other, and exchange information and propose ideas to create innovative research across disciplines and interdisciplinary fields.
