Dear fellow PhD candidates, master students,
We are very pleased to announce the eighth edition of the LinGhentian Doctorials, the conference by and for PhD students of linguistics (in a very broad sense) at Ghent University. This event creates an opportunity for PhD students to present their research to a broad audience of peers. The conference provides an ideal opportunity for in-depth interaction with and feedback from other PhD students with various backgrounds and experiences. It is also a wonderful occasion to expand your network to colleagues from other departments.
As was the case for previous editions, the LinGhentian Doctorials will also feature a poster session, aimed specifically at recently-started PhD candidates and interested master students.
