Canadian Linguistic Association

The Canadian Linguistic Association (CLA) is a professional organization that brings together linguists and language researchers in Canada. Its goal is to promote the scientific study of language, facilitate communication among academics, and support initiatives related to language research, education, and policy. The CLA hosts conferences, publishes research, and encourages collaboration across various fields of linguistics, including phonetics, syntax, semantics, and sociolinguistics. It serves as a platform for sharing ideas and advancing understanding of language in its diverse forms and contexts within the Canadian and global landscape.
