The Hungarian Usage and Language Consulting Research Group and the
Terminology Research Group of the ELTE Research Centre for Linguistics
are pleased to organize the 9th International Language Management
Symposium (ILMS), to be held in Budapest on 3–4 September 2026.
The symposium focuses on the theme Language Management: Terminological
Processes and aims to bring together researchers from diverse
disciplines who are interested in how terminology is shaped,
negotiated, and managed across various linguistic, social, and
technological contexts.
In recent decades, globalization, digital transformation, and growing
linguistic awareness have significantly reshaped the communicative
landscape. Terminology plays a central role in effective
communication, yet its management presents complex challenges at both
micro and macro levels. This symposium invites contributions that
explore how terminological processes unfold within contemporary speech
communities, and how they are influenced by institutional,
technological, and multilingual dynamics.
We welcome submissions from scholars and practitioners in linguistics,
terminology, translation studies, communication, cognitive science,
computer science, sociology, education, and related fields. While the
preferred theoretical framework is Language Management Theory, as
developed by J. V. Neustupný and B. H. Jernudd, contributions from
other perspectives are also encouraged.
Invited speakers:
 - Jernudd, Björn (Washington D.C., independent scholar)
 - Du Plessis, Theo (Professor Emeritus, University of the Free State,
South African Sign Language & Deaf Studies)
 - Fóris, Ágota (Professor, Károli Gáspár University of the Reformed
Church in Hungary)
We invite proposals for papers which reflect any topic related to
language management and particularly, the main theme of the symposium.
Issues for discussion include (but are not limited to) the following:
 - Variation and ambiguity in term use
 - Neologisms and Anglicisms in specialized language
 - Challenges in orthography and codification
 - Country-specific and pluricentric terminology issues
 - Translation strategies and multilingual content creation
 - Terminological harmonization and standardization
 - Language technologies and terminology databases in support of
terminological work
 - Language ideologies and power dynamics in terminology
 - The role of language consulting services in terminology management
 - Prescriptive vs. descriptive approaches to terminology management
 - Community-based approaches to terminology
 - Historical development and institutional coordination in
terminology work
