Conference updates

The International Linguistic Society is delighted to invite you to participate in the 17th International Conference of Linguistic Research and Applications, Linguistics 2025 Paris, to be held on 22-24 October 2026 in Paris, France. The primary aim of the conference is to advance key areas of contemporary linguistics, welcoming at the same time innovative approaches to linguistic research and applications.

The Linguistics 2026 Paris conference envisions a vibrant platform for collaboration and dialogue between established researchers, research groups, and emerging scholars in an integrated context. This unique gathering will foster an enriching context of knowledge exchange, collaboration, and inspiration.

Keynote lectures will be delivered by distinguished scholars across various fields of linguistics, presenting new perspectives and expanding the horizons of language study and applications.

Conference Themes and Scope

Linguistics 2026 Paris will feature diverse and pioneering work in linguistics, including but not limited to:

  • Core Linguistics: phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, pragmatics, text analysis
  • Interdisciplinary Linguistics: psycholinguistics, neurolinguistics, sociolinguistics, computational linguistics
  • Applied Linguistics: language education, language pathology, language technology
  • AI in Linguistics: The conference will also highlight emerging AI applications that advance linguistic knowledge and enhance communication systems. These developments are expected to have a significant social impact, reshaping language interactions and accessibility.

Hybrid Participation Options

Linguistics 2026 Paris will be a hybrid conference, offering both in-person and virtual attendance options. In addition to keynote lectures, the programme will include a limited number of oral presentations and an array of poster presentations. Virtual participants will have remote access to keynote and oral presentations as well as select online sessions.

Accepted abstracts will be published as expanded 4-page conference papers in the Linguistic Proceedings Series.

We warmly invite researchers and research groups engaged in any area of linguistics and related applications to submit one-page abstracts for consideration at the Linguistics 2025 Athens conference.

Submission Deadline: TBA

Accepted papers for Linguistics 2026 Paris will be included in three types of publications:

Linguistics 2026 proceedings

Selected presentations will be uploaded to the Linguistic Society YouTube Channel. Additional publications will also be considered, including special issues in established journals.

Publication Ethics
Publication Standards
Authors of original research should provide an accurate description of the theoretical and experimental background, followed by methodology specifics, results, and an objective discussion of the significance of the work.

Authorship
Authorship should be limited to those who meet the following criteria: They have made a significant contribution to the conception, design, or execution of the reported research. They have authored the manuscript or revised it critically. Others who have made substantial contributions to the research, such as providing technical help, writing and editing assistance, and general support, but do not meet the criteria for authorship, should not be listed as authors but should be acknowledged. The corresponding author should ensure that all appropriate coauthors are included in the paper and that all coauthors have seen and approved the final version of the paper and have agreed to its submission for publication.

Originality and plagiarism
Authors should ensure that they have written and submitted only entirely original works. If they have used the work and/or words of others, these works must be cited and/or acknowledged appropriately. Publications that have influenced the nature of the work reported in the manuscript should also be cited. Plagiarism may take many forms, from copying or paraphrasing substantial parts of another’s paper to claiming results from research conducted by others. Plagiarism in any form constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is strictly unacceptable.

Acknowledgments
Authors should properly acknowledge the contributions of others and cite publications that have influenced the reported work. Authors should not use information obtained while providing confidential services, such as refereeing manuscripts or grant applications unless they have obtained explicit written permission from the author(s) of the work involved. Any financial support, scholarships, or economic support related to the reported research should also be explicitly stated.

Each contributor to the conference may appear as a single author of only two papers and as a co-author of two additional papers. Up to four authors are recommended. Submitted abstracts, limited to one page and a maximum of 500 words (excluding author name(s)), should address the following criteria:

  • Significance: Does this study address an important problem?
  • Innovation: Does the study employ novel concepts and aim for original methods?
  • Approach: Are the conceptual frameworks, designs, methods, and analyses adequate?
  • Usefulness: How can the research objectives benefit the respective scientific area?
  • Clarity: How clear and well-organized is the presentation?
  •  

Abstract layout guidelines
Title of paper
Keep the title as concise and closely related to the paper’s content as possible. The abstract should not exceed one page, including references.

Object of Study
Start with a brief description of the object of study or investigation, along with the theoretical context. State your questions or hypotheses in simple terms, avoiding overly technical terminology. In short, explain what you have done.

Methodology
Summarize the key aspects of your approach and related methodology, including subjects, materials, research context, and anything essential for readers to understand your work. In short, explain how you conducted your research.

Results
Summarize your results/findings straightforwardly, especially in relation to your questions or hypotheses. Avoid intricate details, including statistics, which may require extensive reader review. In short, describe what you have found.

Conclusions
Draw explicit conclusions from your results.

References
References in abstract submissions are optional and can be omitted. It’s preferable to focus on your own work rather than referencing the work of others in this concise space.
