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.”
