LIP

Linguistics in the Pub (LIP) is a monthly gathering of language activists and linguists in Melbourne sponsored by the Resource Network for Linguistic Diversity. All are welcome. Visit RNLD's Facebook group for details of the next LIP.

Those in other parts of Australia and the world who can't make it to the Melbourne LIP are encouraged to organise a local gathering to discuss this topic and support language activities in your area.

You can also catch up on LIP discussions by reading Lauren Gawne or Ruth Singer's recaps of LIP sessions on the Endangered Languages and Cultures blog. Links can be found below next to the relevant month.

Contact LIP organiser Ruth Singer if you have any questions rsinger@unimelb.edu.au.
