Results — 7th International Linguistics Olympiad
The 7th International Linguistics Olympiad was held recently in Wroclaw, Poland. Those of us working on the UK Linguistics Olympiad committee were particularly interested to see how the Great Britain team, sponsored by the Philological Society, got on. Considering their lack of Linguistics Olympics experience, and their short preparation time, they did very well indeed. Unofficial word has it that the team came 'around fifth' overall (only the first three positions are officially announced) and one member, Ben Caller, received a bronze medal in the individual competition. Maybe more importantly, the team members said they really enjoyed the experience
We're looking forward to building on this next year.
