Call for Papers:
The 48th GLOW Conference will take place on April 21-23, 2026, at the
University of Siena (Italy) and will be preceded by a satellite
workshop “Less documented languages in formal linguistics: empirical
problems and theoretical perspectives”, to be held at the University
of Florence on April 20, 2026 (for details, see
https://www.ritamanzini.it/glow-workshop).
Main Session:
Abstracts are invited for 18 (short and long) talks and for 60
posters, to be presented in person, on the formal analysis of natural
languages, as well as on theoretically informed experimental work or
corpus-based research.
While there is no pre-determined theme, we encourage submissions that
relate to an important methodological development in the field, that
is, approaches that explore the interfaces between different
components in the architecture of language by integrating the
competences of researchers specialized in different subfields. An
author may submit a maximum of 2 abstracts to the main colloquium,
only one of which may be single-authored.
- Awards: GLOW will award 2 junior researchers with €200 each. The
GLOW board and local organizers will select 2 abstracts/presentations
during the conference and present the awards on the last day of the
main colloquium.
- Proceedings: GLOW plans to have open-access proceedings publishing
contributions to the main colloquium in a short format.
Workshop:
The workshop will center on exploring the significant role that less
documented languages play in expanding empirical knowledge and
advancing linguistic theory. Participants are invited to submit
abstracts for 40-minute presentations (30 minutes for the talk and 10
minutes for discussion) addressing topics related to the morphology
and syntax of under-documented languages.
Contributions may examine how new data from such languages challenge
or inform existing morphosyntactic theories, propose theoretical
frameworks inspired by fresh or previously overlooked linguistic
evidence, or engage with formal analyses of linguistic variation at
both macro and micro levels. Studies focusing on formal aspects of
bilingualism, including phenomena such as language contact, heritage
languages, and creolization, are also encouraged. In addition,
research employing quantitative, corpus-based, experimental, or
computational approaches to formal linguistic issues is welcome.
Invited speaker: Julie Legate
Abstract selection will privilege proposals with a clear formal focus.
Abstracts are to be submitted via OpenReview for the main colloquium,
via Easyabs for the workshop (links below).
Submission deadline: 2nd of December 2025
Notification of acceptance: February 2026
Instructions for Submission:
– Abstracts must be in PDF format.
– Abstracts must not exceed two pages of A4 paper, including figures.
References can be included on an additional page.
– Abstracts should have 2.5 cm margins on all sides, set in Times New
Roman no smaller than 12 points.
– The same abstract cannot be submitted for both the main session and
the workshop
– Submissions are limited to one individual and one joint abstract per
author, or two joint abstracts per author. However, the same person
may submit 2 different single-authored abstracts to the main
colloquium and a workshop.
– Link to submit the abstracts for the main session (Open Review):
https://openreview.net/group?id=glowlinguistics.org/GLOW/2026
We recommend that authors create an OpenReview account at lest 15 days
before the submission deadline. Each abstract must indicate whether it
is to be considered for a talk, a poster, or both.
