The Linguistic Society of America (LSA) is a professional nonprofit organization dedicated to advancing the scientific study of language. Founded in 1924, it supports linguistic scholarship and disseminates research to both professional linguists and the general public, serving as a hub for individuals with an interest in language to engage with scholarly work, policy issues, and collaborative committees. Based in Washington, DC, the group operates within the industry of industry associations and accommodates a membership drawn from those who share an interest in language, offering avenues to share research, participate in committees, and influence policy relevant to linguistics. The LSA emphasizes broad accessibility of linguistic knowledge, coordinating events and partnerships to promote dissemination and involvement across the field. A recent development noted is a partnership with Americandialect.org, which connects ADS and LSA activities around a major annual meeting planned for early 2027 in San Francisco.
