SILA meetings encourage scholars to present on a wide range of topics centered on any aspect of Indigenous languages in the Americas. SSILA welcomes abstracts for papers that present original research focusing on the linguistic study of the Indigenous languages of the Americas.
The Society for the Study of the Indigenous Languages of the Americas (SSILA) has decided to hold its next annual winter meeting with two options:
- In-person jointly with the Linguistic Society of America (LSA) at the Marriott New Orleans in New Orleans, Louisiana on January 8 to 11, 2026, and
- An auxiliary online meeting via Zoom on January 17 to 18, 2026.
Due to the unknowns currently associated with traveling to, from, and within the United States for many of our members, presenters and attendees who are unable to travel in person are encouraged to attend the online portion of the conference.
