Georgetown University, Washington D.C.

The Georgetown University Round Table on Languages and Linguistics (GURT) is an annual academic conference that has been held since 1949 at Georgetown University in Washington, D.C. GURT is one of the most prestigious and long-standing conferences in the field of linguistics.

The primary aim of GURT is to provide a platform for scholars, researchers, and linguists from around the world to come together and discuss a wide range of topics related to language and linguistics. Each year’s conference typically has a specific theme or focus within the field, and presentations, panel discussions, and roundtables, are organized around that theme.

Over the years, GURT has covered a broad spectrum of linguistic topics, including phonetics, syntax, sociolinguistics, language acquisition, language variation, semantics, pragmatics, language policy, and more.  By covering these themes, it has played a significant role in advancing linguistic research and promoting collaboration among language scholars.
