We invite abstracts for the fifth international conference on
Bilingualism in the Hispanic and Lusophone world (BHL), hosted by the
University of Reading and King’s College London, which will take place
at University of Reading between January 12-14, 2026.
BHL is a biennial international conference (Leiden University, The
Netherlands, 2015, 2019; Florida State University, USA, 2017; Puebla,
Mexico, 2024) that brings together researchers working on different
aspects of bilingualism/multilingualism in the Hispanic and Lusophone
world to share new insights regarding methodology and extend and
strengthen the dialogue on furthering our understanding of
bilingualism/multilingualism.
BHL is dedicated to research in any area related to
bilingualism/multilingualism, including: bilingual/multilingual
acquisition, heritage languages, education, sociolinguistics, and
psycholinguistics.
Topics:
 - Psycholinguistic aspects of multilingualism
 - Second language and bilingual/multilingual acquisition, heritage
languages
 - Bilingualism/multilingualism in society and culture (e.g., language
contact, language policies, identity, migration, etc)
 - Bilingualism/multilingualism in education (e.g., language
acquisition in multilingual children, bilingual education models,
teaching strategies in multilingual classrooms, mother tongue in
education, etc) and in Technology (language learning apps, inclusion
in multilingual digital spaces, etc. )
 - Theoretical linguistics
By bringing together researchers from different perspectives we hope
to be able to share new insights regarding methodology and get a
better understanding of bilingualism/multilingualism.
Keynote Speakers:
 - Sílvia Perpiñán (Universitat Pompeu Fabra, España )
 - Tim Laméris (Leiden University, NL)
 - Patrick Rebuschat   (Lancaster University, UK)

Information about submissions:
We welcome: 1) oral presentation (normal presentation and blitz
talks) and 2) posters
The abstracts should be anonymous and a max of 300 words, excluding
references. Please indicate whether you would like your abstract to be
considered for a talk, blitz, poster or all. 
Length of Conference Presentations:
Normal presentations: 20 minutes and 10 minutes for discussion.
Blitz talks: 6 minutes and 4 minutes for discussion.
Official languages of the international conference are English,
Spanish and Portuguese. You may also submit your abstract in any other
language spoken in the Hispanic and Lusophone world. However, please
note that if you would like to participate with an oral/poster
presentation in a language other than Spanish/Portuguese/English, you
must submit your abstract in both that language and one of the
official languages of the conference. Please note that you must
arrange for an interpreter to do simultaneous translation during the
conference, as BHL is unable to provide interpreters.
While BHL will be primarily an on-site event, sessions will be
live-streamed for remote viewers who are unable to attend in person.
Please note that this is not a hybrid conference: all presentations
will be delivered on-site, and remote participation (e.g., presenting
online) will not be available.
BHL will offer a Best Poster Award. All attendees with a poster
presentation will be eligible for this award, granted on the basis of
the presentation clarity and scientific significance.
All BHL participants will be invited to submit a contribution for a
Special Issue on Bilingualism in the Hispanic and Lusophone world.
