The Linguistics Association of Great Britain (LAGB) is the leading professional association for academic linguistics in the UK. We support and promote the advancement of linguistic research, foster connections across the field, and provide a platform for collaboration, discussion, and the sharing of knowledge.
From its roots in the Linguistic Circle at Hull University to its establishment as the UK’s leading organisation for theoretical linguistics, the LAGB has a rich history shaped by pioneering scholars, evolving academic priorities, and a commitment to collaboration. Explore the milestones, people, and meetings that have defined our journey.
The LAGB Committee steers the direction of the Association, supports its membership, and oversees our academic and organisational initiatives. Get to know the people currently serving and find out how they contribute to our work.
