XLVI. StuTS 

Welcome to the homepage of the 46th StuTS (in Bochum, Germany, 18th – 22nd November 2009)

What is StuTS?

The abbreviation ‚StuTS’ stands for ‚Studentische Tagung Sprachwissenschaft’ (students’ conference for linguistics) and refers to a culturally and scientifically oriented linguistic convention. The event is organized for students by students and it adresses everyone who is interested in linguistic studies. There will be speeches, workshops and discussions held by students and national as well as international renowned linguists. The event has taken place every semester since 1987 in various cities in the German-speaking area.

In the winter semester 09/10 Bochum has been chosen as the host for the convention. The 46th StuTS is under the patronage of rector Prof.Dr. Elmar Weiler of the Ruhr-Universität Bochum. The institute for German language and literature studies, the institute for linguistics, the faculty of philology and the AStA (students’ union executive committee) of the Ruhr-Universität Bochum also support the 46th StuTS. We await approximately 100 to 150 international participants.
