STaPs, as a conference by Ph.D. students for Ph.D. students, is unique among PhD conferences in that it welcomes both work in progress and work in the planning phase, as well as work that focuses on methodological issues/challenges rather than on completed research projects/ attained results. Projects of any area of linguistics can be presented (theoretical and descriptive linguistics as well as language acquisition, phonetics, psycho-, neuro-, sociolinguistics, pragmatics and computational linguistics; synchronic or diachronic).
