Call for Papers:
Linguistic Evidence will take place from 15-16 October 2026 at the
Leibniz Institute for the German Language Mannheim, Germany.
Linguistic Evidence is a biennial conference series founded in 2004 at
the University of Tübingen
(https://uni-tuebingen.de/en/research/core-research/collaborative-research-centers/crc-833/linguistic-evidence/#c1511619).
It serves as an interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary forum for
researchers from all linguistic and neighboring disciplines who wish
to exchange ideas on empirical data, the role of empirical evidence in
linguistic theory-building, and the development of empirical methods.
Linguistic Evidence aims at establishing a closer link between
empirical data and theoretical analysis in the study of language
systems and linguistic behavior, in relation to language acquisition,
comprehension, and production. The conference is open to research from
all linguistic domains and welcomes submissions from all linguistic
subdisciplines as well as interdisciplinary groups.
Accepted contributions will be published in a conference proceedings
volume (hosted by the open-access series IDSopen) as peer-reviewed
short or long papers.
Invited Speakers:
Gemma Boleda (Pompeu Fabra University)
Sandrine Zufferey (University of Bern)
Special Sessions:
Special Session 1: The importance of LLM data and human data for
linguistic theory-building
Special Session 2: The influence of non-linguistic factors on
grammatical competence
We invite abstracts:
(i) from all fields of linguistics, neighboring disciplines and
interdisciplinary research groups with a clear research question
relating to the study of language systems, processing or functions in
language acquisition, comprehension or production;
(ii) with data from experiments, corpus analyses, surveys or
fieldwork;
(iii) including empirical data applied to linguistic phenomena or
research questions from all linguistic domains (i.e., phonetics,
phonology, morphology, syntax, semantic, pragmatics)
(iv) presenting novel methodical paradigms for data collection or
analysis that may be of particular interest to linguistic research.
We invite abstracts for talks (20min + 10min Q&A) or poster
presentations. Please indicate your preferred format (talk/poster/talk
or poster) and inclusion in one of the special or regular sessions
(special session 1/special session 2/regular session) in the abstract.
Abstracts should be anonymous and no longer than 2 pages. Additional
figures, data or references may be included on a third page. Abstracts
must have a 2.5cm margin on all sides, and the font size should not be
smaller than Arial 11pt. Abstracts must be submitted in pdf format.
