The Canadian Linguistic Association (CLA; alternatively called the Association canadienne de linguistique, ACL) is the principal professional organization of linguists in Canada. Yearly meetings are held, usually at the end of May, in which members present scholarly research on any area of Linguistics. Every year since 2011, a new exhibit of the Canadian Language Museum has also opened at the annual meeting. The CLA also publishes the Canadian Journal of Linguistics, which is published quarterly. The association was founded in 1955.
The Canadian Linguistic Association also awards an annual National Achievement Award, which has been presented to J.K. Chambers (2010), Yves Charles-Morin and Shana Poplack (2011), Keren Rice (2013), Jila Ghomeshi (2014), and Yves Roberge (2015).[1] Since 2014, the year's recipient of the National Achievement Award has been invited to give a plenary talk at the annual meeting of the CLA.
