SLE meetings provide a forum for high-quality linguistic research from

should not exceed 500 words.
Abstracts are submitted to EasyChair via the SLE Members’ Area:
https://societaslinguistica.eu/members/login/. Please keep in mind
that SLE is a members’ association run by and for members. Hence,
submitters have to be SLE members to submit an abstract. For SLE

not be considered.
The deadline for all abstracts is 15 January 2026. Notification of
acceptance will be given by 31 March 2026.

a keynote speaker, a series of papers and a final discussion.

abstracts (max. 300 words per abstract)
Workshop proposals must be submitted as one file in pdf and be sent to
the chair of SLE workshops Aneta Kopecka
(anetta.kopecka at univ-lyon2.fr) and to the Conference Manager
(sle.cm at kuleuven.be).
Attention: The deadline for the submission of workshop proposals is 20
November 2025. Notification of acceptance/rejection of workshop
