Final Call for Papers:
The 13th International Conference on Language Variation in Europe
(ICLaVE 13), co-organized by the University of Bern and the University
of Lausanne, will take place at the University of Lausanne from 29
June – 2 July 2026.
We are delighted to feature 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.
ICLaVE 13 invites abstract submissions for individual papers (20
minutes) and posters (dedicated session). 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).
Abstracts and conference presentations can be in English, German,
French, or Italian.
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: https://www.conftool.com/iclave13/
We look forward to seeing you in Lausanne in 2026!
