Submission Deadline: 28-Jul-2026

We are pleased to announce the 38th annual conference of the Israel
Association for Theoretical Linguistics (IATL), which will take place
at Bar-Ilan University on October 18 and 19, 2026 (or a week later).
We aim to hold the conference during the Israeli Science and Academia
Week. The conference will consist of a general session and a special
session on Computational Models for Linguistic Processing. Talks will
be 30-minute long with 10 additional minutes for discussion. The
conference will also include a poster session.
Invited Speaker: Yael Sharvit (UCLA)
General Session:
We invite submissions of abstracts for presentation of previously
unpublished research in all areas of theoretical linguistics,
including, but not limited to: phonetics, phonology, morphology,
syntax, semantics, pragmatics, historical linguistics,
sociolinguistics, language acquisition, psycholinguistics,
neurolinguistics, and computational linguistics.
Special Session – Computational Models for Linguistic Processing:
Despite rapid advances in AI and the development of Large Language
Models, linguistically informed models remain essential for
understanding the dynamic processing and representation of linguistic
structures. Linguistically informed modeling supports richer
linguistic and psycholinguistic research by providing interpretable
predictors for processing experiments and offering insight into
structural preferences during comprehension.
We invite submissions of abstracts for talks or posters presenting
novel research related (but not restricted) to any type of
quantitative modeling in linguistics, the theoretical motivations and
explanatory value of such models, and demonstrations of how they can
be implemented in psycholinguistic research.
Invited Speaker: TBA
Abstract Submission Guidelines:
Abstracts, including references and data, must not exceed two A4
pages, have 2.54 cm (1 inch) margins on all sides, and be set in Times
New Roman with a font size no smaller than 11pt. Abstracts should be
anonymized and submitted in PDF format.
Submissions are restricted to at most one single-authored and one
co-authored abstract per person.
Please submit abstracts by 28 July 2026 through our OpenReview site:
https://openreview.net/group?id=IATL.org/2026/Conference
Please note OpenReview's moderation policy for newly created profiles
and plan ahead accordingly:
 - New profiles created without an institutional email will go through
a moderation process that can take up to two weeks.
 - New profiles created with an institutional email will be activated
automatically.
When submitting your abstract, please indicate whether you wish your
abstract to be considered for presentation at the general session or
at the special session.
Important Dates:
Deadline for abstract submission: July 28, 2026
Notification of acceptance: late August 2026
Conference: October 18-19 or 25-26, 2026
