Linguistic Field(s): Linguistic Theories; Morphology; Phonology;

Submission Deadline: 01-Nov-2026

The 49th edition of GLOW will be held at the School of Arts and
Humanities of the University of Lisbon, Portugal, from 22 to 25 March
2027 — 35 years after the 1992 Lisbon GLOW, where Richard Kayne
presented the fundamentals of his antisymmetry of syntax in his
keynote address.
The main colloquium (22–24 March) has no designated theme.
Contributions are welcome on all topics, in all subdisciplines of the
field, from any perspective compatible with generative objectives. The
organisers of GLOW49 would like to promote representation of work on
varieties of Portuguese and languages in the Portuguese-speaking
world, as well as work on both spoken and signed modalities of
language.
The main colloquium will feature two types of oral presentation (long
presentations, max. 40 minutes, and shorter presentations, max. 25
minutes, each followed by a 10-minute question-and-answer period), and
a wide selection of posters. Abstract submissions are limited to a
maximum of one single-authored and one co-authored abstract per
person. Please note that submitting the same abstract to both the main
colloquium and one or more of the workshops is not permitted.
On 25 March, there will be three workshops in parallel sessions. The
topics of the three workshops are the following:
 - phonology, morphology, and their interactions
 - the syntax, semantics, and acquisition of control phenomena
 - the morphosyntax and semantics of clausal hypotaxis
Each workshop will feature a selection of 25-minute oral
presentations, each with a 10-minute question-and-answer period.
PLEASE NOTE that the deadline for submission of abstracts to both the
main colloquium and the three workshops is 1 November 2026. This
deadline will not be extended.
Abstracts for both the main colloquium and the three workshops should
be submitted as fully anonymized PDF documents that do not exceed two
single-spaced pages (A4 with 2.5 cm margins or US letter with 1 inch
margins on all sides), including examples, references and
tables/figures, in a font no smaller than 12pt Times New Roman. In the
application form, authors are requested to provide a list of max. 5
keywords.
Abstracts should be submitted on the Oxford Abstracts platform,
accessible via the following link:
https://app.oxfordabstracts.com/stages/83205/submitter
The main colloquium, the poster sessions, and the three workshops will
be held at the School of Arts and Humanities of the University of
Lisbon (Faculdade de Letras da Universidade de Lisboa), located in the
Cidade Universitária campus (Campo Grande area).
