Call Deadline: 28-Feb-2026

Call for Papers:
Following the success of previous editions in Helsinki (2021),
Stockholm (2024), and Leipzig (2025), Emerging Topics in Typology
(ETT) will return for its fourth edition in 2026, this time at
Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz, from 15 to 17 July 2026!
ETT is a conference organised by and for PhD students in linguistic
typology. We welcome abstracts on a range of topics in quantitative
and qualitative typology, language documentation and description, and
particularly welcome talks on ongoing projects and works in progress.
A core feature of ETT is its mentoring system. Each accepted talk is
assigned a senior researcher with relevant expertise, who serves as a
mentor and provides feedback to the speaker prior to the conference.
For more information, please consult our website:
https://www.linguistik.fb05.uni-mainz.de/emerging-topics-in-typology-2026/
or contact the organisers at: ett-2026 at uni-mainz.de

Conference registration will be free for all participants, and will be
open to anyone with an interest in the conference topics (including
non-PhD students).
Registration will open on 1 April 2026.
Abstracts should be a maximum of 500 words (excluding references).
Additional examples and figures (up to one A4 page in total) may also
be included. Abstracts should clearly demonstrate a connection to
typological and/or descriptive research. The call for abstracts is
open to all currently enrolled doctoral students.

We recommend uploading a self-prepared PDF rather than using the
platform’s automatic abstract generator.
