Sociolinguistics & Discourse Studies Series

The Sociolinguistics Series, organised by the Leiden University Centre for Linguistics (LUCL), features talks by Leiden researchers and visitors spanning a wide variety of fields and speech communities. The aim of the monthly meetings is to give speakers an opportunity to receive feedback from a diverse audience beyond their individual department or research group.
