The UCLA Center for Language, Interaction, and Culture (CLIC) is dedicated to training students and scholars in interdisciplinary theories and methodologies for understanding the multiple uses of language in everyday life. CLIC faculty and students closely examine a wide range of social contexts to discern the communicative strategies that we share and that make social interaction possible, as well as the communicative differences that keep us apart.

CLIC has established a strong intellectual presence at the graduate level, attracting UCLA graduate students and visiting researchers from around the world. Several regularly scheduled events, labs, and other activities provide opportunities for CLIC faculty and students to share their ongoing research.

Each year, CLIC-GSA at UCLA or LISO-GSA at UC Santa Barbara host a student conference that brings together scholars from around the world to discuss issues related to language, interaction, and culture. Every other year CLIC faculty organize a symposium on a particular topic.
