We are are happy to invite you to the *11th International Conference on 
Grammar and Corpora (GaC11)* <https://gac2027.phil.hhu.de/>, which is 
scheduled to take place *June 30 – July 2nd, 2027,* at Heinrich Heine 
University Düsseldorf.


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!


There will be no conference fee for students (including PhD students) 
and for participants from lower-income countries. We will probably 
announce in October this year whether there will be a small fee for 
other participants (depending on the outcome of our funding applications).


      Call for Papers

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.


In addition to the general session, the conference will feature a 
limited number of theme sessions (see the Call for Theme Sessions below).


For GaC11, we particularly encourage submissions within the following 
focus areas:

  *

    Corpus-based morphosyntactic typology

  *

    Compilation and annotation of corpora for low-resource languages

  *

    Individual differences and group-specific variation in corpus data


Further relevant topics for submissions include, but are not limited to:

  *

    description of grammatical phenomena based on corpus data – in a
    single language or from a cross-linguistic and/or diachronic perspective

  *

    corpus data as evidence for, or challenge to, theories of grammar

  *

    corpus-based analyses at the interface of grammar and semantics

  *

    annotation of corpus data for grammatical parameters

  *

    quantitative corpus studies on synchronic or diachronic grammatical
    variation

  *

    child language corpora and grammatical patterns in child language

  *

    development of novel corpus-linguistic methods for grammatical analysis

  *

    comparison between corpus data and other types of language data
    (e.g. from elicitation or experiments)

Paper submission will be possible from July 20 onwards. *See our website 
<https://gac2027.phil.hhu.de/> for up-to-date information.*


      Call for Theme Sessions

We can accommodate a limited number of theme sessions. If you would like 
to organize a theme session, please submit a proposal (max. 1 page A4 
incl. references) to the organizing committee (gac2027 at hhu.de) by July 
12, 2026. The selection of theme sessions will be announced by July 20.

The theme session proposal can include a preliminary list of envisaged 
speakers (not counting towards the 1-page limit), but an open Call for 
Papers for each accepted theme session is mandatory. We are happy to 
share the Call for Papers of your theme session on our conference 
website. Note that all papers will have to be submitted via OpenReview 
and have to undergo peer-review, but in the case of theme session 
papers, one of the two reviewers will be one of the theme session convenors.
