... Düsseldorf 2027!

We are are happy to invite you to the *11th International Conference on 
Grammar and Corpora (GaC11)*, 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 later 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)

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.

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.

Each participant may submit up to two abstracts (across sessions and 
categories) – one as sole or first author, and one as a co-author.

Your abstract should be submitted via OpenReview: 
https://openreview.net/group?id=GaC/2027/Conference

Abstracts must be submitted via OpenReview as PDF files. Submission will 
open on *July 20, 2026*. 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 October 15,*October 31, 23.59h (anywhere on earth)*.

*Important: *Submissions will be handled via OpenReview 
<https://openreview.net/>. 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.)

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.

*Abstract submission*

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.

Each participant may submit up to two abstracts (across sessions and 
categories) – one as sole or first author, and one as a co-author.

Each submission will be reviewed anonymously by at least two reviewers.

Abstracts submitted for theme sessions will be reviewed by one theme 
session organizer and one external reviewer within the regular review 
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.
