History

History and aims

SOLE was founded in 1992, by students of the Holland Institute of Generative Linguistics (HIL), which has since been superseded by the Leiden University Centre for Linguistics (LUCL).

Once a year, SOLE and a local committee organize a conference for students of Linguistics. Open to registered students worldwide, it provides a forum for the coming generations of linguistics to present independent research to an international audience.
