The Linguistic Society of America (LSA) is a professional society for linguists. It was founded in 1924 to advance linguistics, the scientific study of human language. According to Wikipedia, "The LSA has over 5,000 individual members and welcomes linguists of all kinds. It works to advance the discipline and to communicate findings in linguistics to a wider audience."

In 2010 at their conference, their annual Word of the Year debate was between "app" and "nom", the latter referring to yummy food, and derived from Cookie Monster.
