Conference: International Conference on Linguistics Communication

做科学的一个关键部分是以有效的方式向公众传播结果。然而，科学家往往没有机会接受如何与公众联系的培训，他们往往不熟悉他们可以用来接触公众的各种方法。语言学传播国际会议的目的是将语言科学家，他们的学生和专家科学传播者聚集在一起，并牢记两个核心目标：（1）提高科学家的公众参与技能;（2）将学术科学家与对促进语言科学感兴趣的传播专家网络联系起来。会议完全在线举行，以保持活动的成本效益，并允许来自地球仪的科学家和传播者轻松参与。科学家来自各个级别的资历，从非常杰出的学者到非常初级的学生;此外，他们还对各种语言相关主题进行研究。专业的传播者以许多不同的方式吸引公众，包括撰写杂志文章，运行播客，创建视频内容，以及在节日和博物馆举办面对面的活动。会议为科学家提供了学习以不同方式与公众沟通的关键技能的机会。它还提供了建立网络的机会，帮助科学家和专业传播者共同工作。该奖项旨在激励科学家重视公众沟通，鼓励科学家在通常的学术环境之外建立联系，并扩大语言科学成果接触公众的方式。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

A critical part of doing science is communicating results to the general public in an effective manner. However, scientists often do not have opportunities for training in how to connect with the public and they are often unfamiliar with the range of methods that they could use to reach them. The purpose of the International Conference on Linguistics Communication is to bring together language scientists, their students, and expert science communicators with two core goals in mind: (1) To improve the public engagement skills of the scientists and (2) To connect academic scientists with a network of communication experts who have a proven interest in promoting language science. The conference is held completely online to keep the event cost-effective and to allow easy participation from scientists and communicators from around the globe. The scientists come from every level of seniority, from highly distinguished scholars to very junior students; moreover, they conduct research on a wide variety of language related topics. The professional communicators engage the public in many different ways, including writing magazine articles, running podcasts, creating video content, and doing in-person events at festivals and museums. The conference provides opportunities for the scientists to learn key skills involved in communicating with the public in different ways. It also provides networking opportunities to help scientists and professional communicators work together. In general, the conference aims to inspire scientists to value public communication, to encourage scientists to forge ties beyond their usual academic environments, and to expand the ways that language science results reach the general public.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
