The International Linguistic Society is pleased to announce the upcoming International Thematic Conference on Language Disorders Research and Applications – Language Disorders 2026, taking place online from 26–28 August 2026.
This virtual conference will bring together researchers, clinicians, and practitioners focused on language disorders across the lifespan — from early developmental challenges to acquired conditions in adulthood. With a strong emphasis on real-world applications, the event invites interdisciplinary exchange and practical insights into diagnosis, intervention, education, and therapy.
What’s It All About?
Language Disorders 2026 aims to create a space where linguistics meets practice — where theoretical advances inform clinical tools, and where technology, therapy, and teaching come together.
Across three days, participants can expect:
– Keynote talks from leading figures in language pathology and applied linguistics (to be announced soon)
– A varied programme exploring topics like developmental language disorders, aphasia, neurolinguistic approaches, assessment tools, and AI-supported interventions
– A fully virtual format, making it easy to attend from anywhere without sacrificing quality or connection
This event is especially relevant to those working in speech and language therapy, education, cognitive linguistics, neuroscience, and language technology – or anyone with a deep interest in how language works (and what happens when it doesn’t).
📅 26–28 August 2026
