The Philological Society (PhilSoc) was established in 1830 and is the
oldest learned society in Great Britain devoted to the scholarly study
of language and languages. As well as encouraging all aspects of the
study of language, PhilSoc has a particular interest in historical and
comparative linguistics, and in the structure, development, and
varieties of Modern English. The event will be immediately followed by
the public Philological Society meeting, at which the speaker will be
Dr Guyanne Wilson (UCL). Therefore, part of the Early Career event
will be linked to the talk and themed around the sociolinguistics of
World Englishes and part of it will be a general session.
Deadline for submission: Monday 2 March 2026
Notification of acceptance: Friday 27 March 2026
Event dates: Friday 16 October 2026, 12.30–6pm (followed by an
informal dinner).
The event will take place at University College London.
