The 2025 Georgetown University Round Table
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.
GURT’s primary aim 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 has a specific theme within the field, with presentations, panel discussions, and roundtables organized around that theme.
Over the years, GURT has covered a broad spectrum of topics, including but not limited to discourse analysis, language acquisition, language variation, assessment, phonetics and syntax. By covering these themes, GURT has played a significant role in advancing research and promoting collaboration among language scholars.
