Buckeye East Asian Linguistics Forum 2 (2016)
Buckeye East Asian Linguistics Forum 2 — BEAL Forum 2 — provides a platform primarily for students to articulate and exchange ideas on their research findings with forum participants. Both graduate and undergraduate students are welcome to submit abstracts. It is a one-day event with keynote lectures 
and poster sessions. The Forum is an excellent opportunity to present one’s research in a public arena and to receive comments individually. With the exception of keynote lectures, all are poster presentations, thus giving participants ample time for discussion. The event is intended to showcase regional research activities in East Asian linguistics, and is free and open to the public.
