Examples

“Susan Tamasi is Senior Lecturer and Director of Undergraduate Studies in the Program⟳ in Linguistics, Emory University, Atlanta. She has presented at NWAV, AAAL, Sociolinguistics Symposium, and American Dialect Society.”

“The researchers who had sent in their papers were frustrated – three NWAVs without publications.”

“One of the problems of NWAV reviewing is that it is carried out by self-declared experts with basically no conference organizer oversight, veto, or corrective. Everyone who went to NWAV can self-identify their areas of expertise and significantly affect⟳ the inclusion or rejection of a given paper.”

“I found so many enthusiastic supporters at various NWAVs, too many to name⟳, and I will always be grateful to have⟳ “grown up” in this dynamic, challenging environment of researchers.”
