Meeting description:

The 53^rd Linguistic Symposium on Romance Languages (LSRL 53) will take place in Paris, France, from June 26 to June 30, 2023. The symposium is organized jointly by INALCO, Université Paris Cité, Université Sorbonne Nouvelle, and Université Paris Saclay.

We invite papers from all areas of Romance linguistics, and we would like to encourage papers on Romance sign languages, Romance minority languages, and any minority languages in contact with Romance.

In addition to the main conference (June 27 – 29), LSRL 53 will feature two special sessions:

• • June 26 - “Romance languages in a rapidly changing world” – dedicated to Romance linguistics studies in connection to written and oral technologies.  
  • June 30 - “Phonetics and phonology – Beyond Romance” – studies at the phonetics/phonology interface in any language, inspired by approaches to Romance.

 We are happy to welcome the following plenary speakers:

• Xavier Bach (Oxford University, UK)
• Elena Castroviejo (University of the Basque Country, Spain)
• Abby Cohn (Cornell University, USA)
• Virginia Hill (University of New Brunswick, Canada)
