BAEL Conferences

Each year, the Bonn Applied English Linguistics chair hosts a conference during the summer term. Aimed specifically at postgraduate, PhD, and post-doc students, with an emphasis on pragmatics and other areas of applied linguistics, the conference is a place where young linguists can showcase their empirical research projects and network with other researchers in the field.
