Dear Linguists of the world,
2022 marks the 90-year anniversary of SOAS Department of Linguistics, which is also the first department of linguistics in the UK. The department is now compiling an e-book to commemorate the anniversary. Anyone who would like to send us a note of congratulation or a longer article in memory of their experience (with pictures) at SOAS is most welcome.
Please send your writing to soasling90@gmail.com by end of March, 2023. We will get the e-book ready on SOAS website in summer, 2023.
With best wishes from
The organizing committee for 90-year commemorating events
