The 13th International Conference on Language Variation in Europe
(ICLaVE 13), co-organized by the University of Bern and the University
of Lausanne, will be held at the University of Lausanne from 29 June –
2 July 2026.
We are delighted to announce the following invited plenary speakers:
 - Andrea Ender (Paris Lodron Universität Salzburg)
 - Inés Fernández-Ordóñez (Universidad Autónoma de Madrid)
 - Peadar Ó Muircheartaigh (University of Edinburgh)
 - Sadie Ryan (University of Glasgow)
ICLaVE is the premiere forum for research on language variation in
Europe. It brings together scholars of languages and language
varieties in Europe and elsewhere to discuss current empirical,
methodological, and theoretical issues related to the study of
language variation and change, broadly conceived.
The theme of ICLaVE 13 is “Language, Im/mobilities, and Belonging”.
With this theme, we wish to explore the crucial role that linguistic
variation plays in the construction, regimentation, and evaluation of
communal belonging. We seek to showcase a wide range of theoretical
and methodological approaches to the topic, including research that
engages with issues of im/mobility and belonging in novel and
cross-disciplinary ways.
Call for Papers:
ICLaVE 13 invites abstract submissions for the three presentation
formats featured at the conference: individual papers (20 minutes),
posters (dedicated session), and organized panels. Authors may submit
two abstracts in total to the conference, if at least one is
co-authored. This includes all types of contributions (papers,
posters, panels).
Panels (deadline: October 1, 2025):
We invite proposals for a limited number of organized panels that
engage directly with the conference theme. Panels can be either
single-length (2 hours, 4 presentation slots) or double-length (4
hours, 8 presentations slots). To enable conference attendees to move
between presentations, panels must keep to the regular conference
schedule (i.e., 20-minute presentations followed by 10-minute
discussion). Panel proposals must include: 1) a 500-word panel
description, including a statement of how the panel relates to the
conferences theme and its key questions, aims, and objectives, 2) a
list of panel contributors, and 3) individual 500-word abstracts for
each panel contribution. Anonymization for panel abstracts is not
required and abstracts for discussants are not required. Note that
participation in a panel (whether as organizer or contributor) counts
as one of the two abstracts authors are permitted to submit. Abstracts
can be submitted via the conference submission system:

Individual Papers and Posters (deadline: November 1, 2025):
We invite abstracts for individual 30-minute paper presentations
(20-minute presentations followed by 10-minute discussion) and posters
(showcased during a dedicated evening session). We welcome
presentations of original research from a variety of theoretical
and/or methodological perspectives (including sociolinguistics,
dialectology, historical linguistics, sociology of language, and
psycholinguistics, among others). We particularly encourage
submissions that are related to the conference theme, though abstracts
that deal with any aspect of variation in language use or the
linguistic system are welcome. Abstracts must be fully anonymized and
must not exceed 500 words, excluding title and references. Abstracts
should provide information on the topic, data, methodology, and
theoretical framework(s) of the contribution. Abstracts can be
submitted via the conference submission system:
