January is the perfect time for reflection\u2014looking back on achievements, lessons learned, and setting plans for the year ahead. For Emerging Linguists, 2024 was an incredible year of growth and milestones. As we marked our second year of creating opportunities for young linguists in Austria, we achieved so much and are eager for what lies ahead!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First General Assembly  <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In February 2024, we held our first general assembly, bringing members together to discuss the future of Emerging Linguists. We welcomed new board member David Ko\u0161i\u0107 as our secretary, updated our statutes, and brainstormed ideas for the year ahead. Curious about the details?

Lange Nacht der Forschung (LNDF)  <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

On May 24, 2024, we joined the Lange Nacht der Forschung (Long Night of Research) alongside colleagues from the Institute for Linguistics. Our stand, located at the entrance of the main university building, invited visitors to explore the question, \u201cWhat does linguistics do?\u201d<\/em> With four poster presentations, interactive activities, and a team of ten, we introduced linguistics to a broad audience. We even prepared language games for kids, along with gifts, books, and hands-on demonstrations to spark curiosity and engagement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The First spraWIEN Conference<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The highlight of 2024 was organizing the first-ever spraWIEN<\/em> conference \u2014a one-day event for young linguists to share their knowledge and connect. Held on June 15 at the University of Vienna’s Institute for Linguistics, the event featured 22 speakers delivering 18 engaging presentations.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our team worked tirelessly to make spraWIEN<\/em> a success, and we\u2019re already gearing up for the next edition coming this June. Stay updated so you don\u2019t miss a thing\u2014visit sprawien.at<\/a>.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

UR:journal Collaboration<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We also embarked on an exciting partnership with UR:journal<\/strong>, kicking off work on our first publication. This initiative allows young linguists to experience the entire process of academic publishing\u2014from writing, and drafting to editing and, finally, seeing their work in print.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

48.  \u00d6LT Workshop <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Emerging Linguists once again participated in the 48th \u00d6sterreichische Linguistiktagung<\/strong> (Austrian Linguistics Conference), held in Innsbruck this past December. Together with verbal<\/strong>, we hosted a workshop titled \u201cR\u00fcckblicke und Ausblicke auf die Angewandte Linguistik in \u00d6sterreich\u201d<\/em> (Reflections and Perspectives on Applied Linguistics in Austria) to mark verbal\u2019s<\/strong> 30th anniversary.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The workshop focused on fostering collaboration between linguists at different stages of their careers, offering space for emerging scholars to showcase their work. It was a hub of inspiration, generating a \u201ccastle in the air\u201d full of ideas and impulses for future partnerships. We also published a short report titled \u201cZwischen einem Luftschloss und Worten: Die 48. \u00d6sterreichische Linguistiktagung\u201d<\/em> (Between a Castle in the Air and Words: The 48th Austrian Linguistics Conference).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Final words<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

2024 was a year of connection, innovation, and growth. As we look ahead, we\u2019re excited to build on this momentum and continue creating spaces where emerging linguists can thrive. Thank you for being part of our journey\u2014let\u2019s make 2025 even better! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
