The Workshop on Structure and Constituency in Languages of the Americas (WSCLA) is an annual linguistics conference that started in 1995. The main objective of WSCLA is to bring together linguists who are engaged in research on the formal study of the indigenous languages of the Americas.
Purpose WSCLA exists in order to exchange ideas across theories, language families, and scholars. It also aims to bridge the gap between the academic and non-academic communities who are involved in language maintenance and revitalization.
Indigenous linguist and McGill professor James Crippen, primary organizer of WSCLA 26, said about the conference:
Papers and posters presented at WSCLA meetings are published by the University of British Columbia Working Papers in Linguistics (UBCWPL). The conference has been highlighted for its work on supporting indigenous research topics.
