Linguistic Field(s): General Linguistics

Submission Deadline: 01-Nov-2025

The Penn Linguistics Conference (PLC) is an annual conference in
general linguistics. It aims to bring together researchers from
different subfields, and is open to submissions from faculty,
students, and independent researchers. PLC 50 will be held in person
in Philadelphia. In addition to discussing their papers at the
conference, accepted authors will have the chance to publish their
work in the conference proceedings. PLC 50 will feature a keynote
speech from Rajesh Bhatt (University of Massachusetts) and a special
panel on the theme of bilingualism across the subfields. PLC 50 also
welcomes undergraduate students to submit an abstract showcasing their
research in any subfield of linguistics and related disciplines.
We welcome papers in linguistics and associated fields on any topic
and in any approach. Session topics in recent years have included -
but are not limited to - phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax,
semantics, psycholinguistics, sociolinguistics, pragmatics, and
language contact. We encourage abstracts on both spoken and signed
languages. Abstracts should indicate whether they are being submitted
for consideration as a talk, poster, or both.
Please limit abstracts to two single-spaced pages in 12pt font,
including examples, figures, and references. Examples and figures may
be interspersed with text. Abstracts should be anonymized; please do
not include your name or affiliation within the abstract.
To facilitate the review process, please submit your abstract as a
.pdf file.
