Essex Uni is hosting this year’s LAGB meeting. I volunteered to help out, so I was on the registration desk today from 9 till 3. That meant I had to get up at 6 a.m., which I am not good at doing. Still, I got myself and a colleague there in plenty of time for 9. I was briefed on what to do, and sat on my bum all day registering linguists, answering linguists’ questions and chatting to linguists. I actually quite enjoyed it. I recognised several linguists and was also recognised by several linguists. A far cry from two years ago, which was the last time I went to an LAGB meeting and which was also the first time I went to one, when I didn’t know any of the linguists, let alone who any of the linguists were.
