<p>We are are happy to invite you to the <b>11th International
Conference on Grammar and Corpora (GaC11)</b>, which is
scheduled to take place <b>June 30 – July 2nd, 2027, at Heinrich
Heine University Düsseldorf</b>.</p>
<p>GaC is a vibrant international forum for research that connects
corpus linguistics and the study of grammar – both understood very
broadly. Presentations at GaC investigate grammatical phenomena
based on corpora, report on corpus compilation and annotation, or
discuss corpus-linguistic methodology for the study of grammar –
or possibly something entirely different within the overall
conference theme. That's where you come in. We are looking forward
to your submissions!</p>
<p>There will be no conference fee for students (including PhD
students) and for participants from lower-income countries. We
will probably announce later this year whether there will be a
small fee for other participants (depending on the outcome of our
funding applications).<br>
</p>
<p><b>Call for Papers</b></p>
<p>The main goal of the GaC conference series is to explore ways how
corpus-linguistic methods can inform our understanding of the
grammars of human languages. As such, we welcome submissions that
connect grammar and corpora in any possible way.</p>
<p>In addition to the general session, the conference will feature a
limited number of theme sessions (see the Call for Theme Sessions
below).</p>
<p>For GaC11, we particularly encourage submissions within the
following focus areas:<br>
- Corpus-based morphosyntactic typology<br>
- Compilation and annotation of corpora for low-resource languages<br>
- Individual differences and group-specific variation in corpus
data</p>
<p>Further relevant topics for submissions include, but are not
limited to:<br>
- description of grammatical phenomena based on corpus data – in a
single language or from a cross-linguistic and/or diachronic
perspective<br>
- corpus data as evidence for, or challenge to, theories of
grammar<br>
- corpus-based analyses at the interface of grammar and semantics<br>
- annotation of corpus data for grammatical parameters<br>
- quantitative corpus studies on synchronic or diachronic
grammatical variation<br>
- child language corpora and grammatical patterns in child
language<br>
- development of novel corpus-linguistic methods for grammatical
analysis<br>
- comparison between corpus data and other types of language data
(e.g. from elicitation or experiments)</p>
<p>We invite submissions for 20’ oral presentations (+ 5’ for
discussion + 5’ for speaker and room changes) as well as posters.
The conference is held on-site in Düsseldorf. The conference
language is English.</p>
<p>Abstracts should clearly state the research questions, framework,
methodology, data and (expected) results. They should not exceed
500 words (including examples, tables and figures; excluding
references, abbreviation lists etc.), and should be formatted on
A4 paper with 1in/2.5cm margins, in a 12pt font.</p>
<p>Each participant may submit up to two abstracts (across sessions
and categories) – one as sole or first author, and one as a
co-author.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Your abstract should be submitted via
OpenReview: <a
href="https://openreview.net/group?id=GaC/2027/Conference"
class="moz-txt-link-freetext">https://openreview.net/group?id=GaC/2027/Conference</a></p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Abstracts must be submitted via
OpenReview as PDF files. Submission will open on <strong>July 20,
2026</strong>. The submitted files must be anonymous, i.e., they
must not contain the authors’ names, affiliations, or any other
information that could reveal their authorship. In the submission
form, please indicate which presentation category you submit for
(oral / poster / special session / either). Upload of abstracts
on OpenReview must be complete by <s>October 15</s>,<strong>
October 31, 23.59h (anywhere on earth)</strong>.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Important: </strong>Submissions
will be handled via <a href="https://openreview.net/">OpenReview</a>.
You will need to register for an OpenReview account if you don’t
have one yet. In rare cases, this can take up to two weeks, so
please make sure to register for an OpenReview account ahead of
time. (That being said, GaC is small enough that we can accept
last-minute submissions via email if you absolutely don’t manage
to register for an account in time.)</p>

<p class="has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph">Abstracts
submitted for theme sessions will be reviewed by one theme session

process. If more submissions to a theme session are accepted than
the session can accommodate, the theme session organizers will
make a selection. Accepted submissions not selected by the session
organizers will be moved to the general session.</p>
