Meeting Description:

The Manchester Forum in Linguistics (MFiL) is an annual conference for
postgraduate students and early-career researchers in all fields of
Linguistics. The aim of the conference is to share current theoretical
and methodological linguistic work and provide information and advice
for postgraduate students, post-doctoral scholars, and others in the
early stages of their scientific career, through oral and poster
presentations, plenary talks, and a careers panel.
MFiL, which is now being organised for the eleventh time, is the
successor of a postgraduate linguistics conference that ran in
Manchester from 1992 until 2024 (almost) annually. The conference
adheres to strict standards of scientific rigour: all abstract
submissions are double-blind peer-reviewed by research and teaching
staff from the Department of Linguistics and English Language at The
University of Manchester, and only submissions with a solid scientific
contribution are accepted for presentation at the conference.
Submissions that have implications for linguistic theory generally or
that employ novel empirical methods are especially encouraged. You can
submit your abstract for MFiL2025 here.
The twelfth edition of MFiL will be held in-person at The University
of Manchester on the 1st and 2nd of May.

Submissions for talks and poster presentations in all areas of
linguistics are welcomed. Submissions that have implications for

discussion. Poster presentations will be presented during a dedicated

The deadline for submissions is  5th January 2025 (midnight GMT).
