The ANU Linguistics seminar series aims to provide a venue to share the research outcomes from the linguists working at ANU and to welcome presentations from other linguists in Australia and around the world.
We welcome research on all the natural languages of the world, oral or signed, and we aim to foster debate among diverse frameworks and linguistics schools.
Seminars are held in-person in the AD Hope Conference Room 1.28
2025 Program coming soon.
