Linguistic Society of America (LSA)

The Linguistic Society of America (LSA) is a professional organization dedicated to advancing the scientific study of language. It supports linguists—scientists who analyze how languages work—to share research, promote understanding, and inform language-related policies. The LSA organizes conferences, publishes scholarly journals, and provides resources to both professionals and the public. Its goal is to deepen knowledge of language structure, use, and diversity, fostering collaboration across disciplines to better understand human communication.
