NEL-1 (2016)
On July 1, 2016, Master- and PhD-students from the Universities of Bonn and Giessen to Würzburg got together for the first ‘Nachwuchstagung für Englische Linguistik’, NEL-1, a conference for young researchers in English linguistics. The conference aimed at providing a platform for exchanging ideas and feedback for young researchers of the three universities involved, but also – and not less importantly – it was designed to remind young scholars that they are not alone in their struggles for academic success.
The presentations covered various linguistic subfields, such as the phonetics and phonology of language acquisition, the role of motivation in language learning, and methods and perspectives of discourse analysis in forensic linguistics. During a poster session, several Master- and PhD-students as well as postdoctoral researchers presented their research projects.
