Previous Seasons Meetings
PhilSoc welcomes proposals for papers to be read at meetings. Proposals should be forwarded to the Honorary Secretary (contact details on the Contact page). Papers may be on any topic falling within the scope of PhilSoc's interests, but speakers are asked to bear in mind that the audience will represent a wide range of linguistic interests, and papers should therefore be accessible to non-specialists.

Useless augments and improper perfects: Greek and the Indo-European verb
Prof. Andreas Willi (University of Oxford)
In a break with recent tradition, PhilSoc will be holding its Nov meeting at the University of Edinburgh. For some time now, the Society has held a biennial meeting in Manchester; the Edinburgh meeting therefore represents a further move to extend coverage northwards. PhilSoc looks forward to seeing many of its northern members on Fri 17 Nov.
