Final Call for Papers:
The 11th Biennial International Conference on the Linguistics of
Contemporary English (BICLCE) will be held between 3rd and 5th July
2026 at the University of Klagenfurt (Austria).
For over two decades, the BICLCE conference series has been a forum
for researchers who are interested in the linguistics of contemporary
English. It is open to different theoretical and methodological
perspectives. Previous conferences were held in Edinburgh (2005),
Toulouse (2007), London (2009), Osnabrück (2011), Austin TX (2013),
Madison WI (2015), Vigo (2017), Bamberg (2019), Ljubljana (2022) and
Alicante (2024). BICLCE 2026 wishes to continue this long-standing
tradition of exploring contemporary English.
In 2026, BICLCE11 comes with an additional thematic focus on “English
in a geopolitically changing world”, motivated by the major changes
the world has experienced in the last several years which may
potentially influence how English is used and perceived
internationally.  Therefore, we are happy to invite researchers to
submit proposals addressing this topic in particular. Beyond this
theme, contributions related to English are also welcome in any of the
following fields/areas: syntax, morphology, sociolinguistics,
semantics, pragmatics, discourse analysis, cognitive linguistics,
phonetics/phonology, applied linguistics and more. In addition, there
are seven Thematic Workshops are also extending their Call.
Due to high demand, we are pleased to extend the call for proposals by
an additional two weeks.
Submit your proposals via
https://conference3.aau.at/event/156/abstracts/. The EXTENDED deadline
is January 31st, 2026. Notifications will be sent out by 15th March.
