About LingFest: LingFest (lingcomm.org/lingfest) is a program of online linguistics events aimed at a general audience, beginning Saturday, April 24, 2021. Just as a fringe festival compiles a list of independently-organized events on a particular theme, LingFest is an excuse for linguistics communicators to organize an online event, a way for fans to meet fellow linguistics enthusiasts (use #lingfest), and a handy way to find out about more lingcommers who you might want to start following!
