From 26 to 29 October 2023, the 74th “Studentische Tagung der Sprachwissenschaft” ( = Student Conference of Linguistics, also called StuTS) took place in Vienna, Austria. This conference is intended for all students of linguistics. About 180 participants were registered, many of them from Vienna itself, but also from Cologne, Munich, Frankfurt and so on. There were also 7 students from Hamburg – including me, Isabeau Lettow, participating at the StuTS for the second time. Since October, I study “Gebärdensprachen” in the master’s program and gave a talk named "Aspectuality in German and German Sign Language (DGS) - a comparison" based on my bachelor’s thesis. The student talks, poster presentations and workshops were complemented by keynotes and a colourful social program. The next StuTS will take place in Graz from 08.05–12.05.2024.
