The International Linguistic Society is delighted to announce the International Thematic Conference of Pronunciation Research and Applications – Pronunciation 2026, taking place online from 25–27 February 2026.
This unique event will serve as a vibrant platform for collaboration and exchange between leading researchers, dynamic research groups, and emerging scholars in the field of pronunciation. Whether you’re working in speech articulation, neurophonetics, or applying AI to language education, this conference is designed to connect and inspire.
Pronunciation 2026 aims to advance key areas of pronunciation research while embracing innovative and interdisciplinary approaches. From foundational phonetic theory to cutting-edge technological applications, the event welcomes a broad scope of contributions that reflect the diversity and evolution of the field.
What to Expect
Participants can look forward to:
– Thought-provoking keynote lectures from distinguished scholars (to be announced)
– A carefully curated programme highlighting both established and emerging themes
– An enriching online environment for sharing knowledge and building connections
The conference will explore a range of core, thematic, interdisciplinary, and applied areas — including speech articulation, prosodic systems, sociophonetics, language pathology, and the growing influence of AI in pronunciation research.
We’ll also be publishing all accepted conference papers as expanded 4-page contributions in the Linguistic Proceedings Series — because great work should be shared.
Further details — including keynote speakers, registration info, and abstract submission guidelines — will be released in the coming months. For now, save the date and stay tuned!
