2nd Call for Papers
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. The MFiL website
is: https://mfilconf.wordpress.com/.
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.
The twelfth edition of MFiL will be held in-person at The University
of Manchester on the 1st and 2nd of May.
Abstract submissions:
Submissions for talks and poster presentations in all areas of
linguistics are welcomed. Submissions that have implications for
linguistic theory generally or that employ novel empirical methods are
especially encouraged. Oral presentations will last 20 minutes, with
an additional 10 minutes allocated for questions, comments, and
discussion. Poster presentations will be presented during a dedicated
session on the schedule.
The deadline for submissions is 19th January 2025 (midnight GMT). 
Authors are permitted to submit a maximum of one single-authored paper
and one co-authored paper or a total of two co-authored
papers. Abstracts should be up to a maximum of 500 words (excluding
references). This limit includes glossed examples, tables, figures and
the like. Abstracts must be fully anonymous. Please make sure that any
references to your own work are in the third person.
Submissions will be made through OxfordAbstracts (MFiL2025:
https://app.oxfordabstracts.com/stages/76916/submitter). If you have
not previously registered with OxfordAbstracts, you might need to do
so in order to submit an abstract. All abstracts are double-blind
peer-reviewed by research and teaching staff from the Department of
Linguistics and English Language at The University of Manchester.
If you have further enquiries, please feel free to email
mfil.conference at manchester.ac.uk.
