Where to Find Berkeley Linguistics News and Upcoming Events

The official Berkeley Linguistics website (lx.berkeley.edu) publishes departmental news and upcoming events directly on its home page. The News section (labeled "News (Calques)") lists recent faculty publications, awards, and other announcements, while the Upcoming Events section lists scheduled talks and activities. Both are visible on the home page without logging in, and the site also provides a way to request ASL interpretation for an event.

News: What the Section Covers

The News section, referred to as "Calques" in the site navigation, carries short announcements about the department. From the home page excerpt, recent items include:

• A faculty publication in the Journal of Asian Studies
• A faculty member receiving a Schmidt Sciences HAVI award
• A departmental visit to France

These entries are dated (for example, October 13–14, 2026) and appear as headlines with brief descriptions. The "More" link at the end of the list leads to additional news items beyond those shown on the home page.

How to Use It

1. Open lx.berkeley.edu.
2. Scroll to the News block on the home page.
3. Read the dated headlines; select an item or the "More" link to see further announcements.

Expected result: you get a current snapshot of departmental activity, including publications and awards. If you need older items, follow the "More" link rather than relying on the home page list, which shows only the most recent entries.

Upcoming Events

The Upcoming Events section sits below News on the home page and lists scheduled departmental events. The home page excerpt shows the section heading and a link to request ASL interpretation, but not individual event entries; those appear in the listing itself.

Requesting ASL Interpretation

The site includes a dedicated link: "Request ASL interpretation for an event." Use this when you plan to attend an event and need interpretation. The request is made through that link rather than through the general contact page, so check it before the event date to allow time for arrangements.

Quick Reference

Practical Notes

• Both sections are part of the public home page; no account or login is described for viewing them.
• News items are dated, so you can judge how current an announcement is.
• The site's main navigation also includes Events and News (Calques) entries, which serve as alternate routes to the same content if the home page blocks are not visible in your view.
• For questions not covered by news or events, the site's Contact and Contact Info and Directions pages are the appropriate next step.
