Please join us for SLIME 5 (Studies in Language, Information, Meaning and Expression), a workshop at UCLA from September 18-19, 2026.

The conference is “pre-view”: recorded talks will be available ahead of time.  Discussion is led by a commentator (20 min), followed by replies from the speaker (20 min) and Q+A (60 min). We ask that all attendees view or read the talks prior to the day when they are being discussed.

The most up-to-date schedule and information will be available on the workshop website HERE.
