The Linguistic Society of America

The Linguistic Society of America (LSA) is a professional organization dedicated to the study and promotion of linguistics, the scientific study of language. It brings together researchers, educators, and students to share knowledge about how languages work, their structure, evolution, and social use. The LSA offers resources, publishes research journals, organizes conferences, and advocates for language-related issues. Its goal is to advance understanding of human language in all its forms, fostering a community that supports linguistic research and education across diverse languages and cultural contexts.
