Buckeye East Asian Linguistics Forum 4 (2021)
Buckeye East Asian Linguistics Forum 4 (BEAL Forum 4) provides a platform primarily for graduate students to articulate and exchange ideas on their research findings with forum participants. It is a one-day event with keynote lectures and students’ presentation sessions. Previously, students’ presentation sessions were all posters. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, these sessions will, instead, be oral, 15-minute presentations via Zoom. The BEAL Forum is an excellent opportunity to present one’s research in a public arena and to receive comments individually. The Forum is intended to showcase regional research activities in East Asian linguistics. The event is free and open to the public, although REGISTRATION is required in order to obtain the Zoom links. (Registration: Closed.) See the Program here.
