The Asian Junior Linguists Conference (AJL)

About AJL

AJL is committed to encouraging junior linguists to have opportunities to present their work at a formal academic conference. Junior linguists mainly include undergraduate students studying linguistics, but Master's and pre-ABD level submissions will be considered on a case-by-case basis.


ICU Working Papers in Linguistics features selected original research papers from each conference, edited by students at the host university.
