The Linguistic Society of America (LSA), established in 1924, stands as the foremost professional organization in the United States committed to the scientific study of language. Our diverse membership includes teaching and research professors, industry data scientists, language revitalization specialists, and software engineers, all dedicated to advancing language research and application. The LSA plays a pivotal role in shaping policies and innovations within language science, artificial intelligence, and communication technologies.

We publish four open-access, peer-reviewed journals that disseminate cutting-edge research, while also providing numerous opportunities for professional development both in-person and online. Our flagship event, the LSA Annual Meeting, convenes linguists across various specialties, fostering collaboration and knowledge exchange. Additionally, the LSA offers year-round virtual programming, including webinars and career workshops. Through these initiatives, we aim to enhance understanding and appreciation of language, while also promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion within the field. Join us in advancing the conversation and exploration of linguistics.
