Linguistic Field(s): General Linguistics; Language Acquisition;
Neurolinguistics; Psycholinguistics

Submission Deadline: 15-Oct-2026

We invite submissions of papers and posters that shed light on various
aspects of the overarching theme, which emphasizes multilingualism as
a dynamic and multi-layered phenomenon that must be studied across
various levels of analysis. In addition to submissions that look at
the effects of multilingualism within the individual domains of
Language, Brain and Learning, we especially welcome submissions that
go beyond single-domain perspectives to address how linguistic
representations, neurocognitive mechanisms, and learning environments
interact. We encourage research that aligns with cross-cutting themes
such as the interaction of multiple linguistic systems, the role of
linguistic and typological distance, the neurocognitive dynamics of
language learning, individual variation in multilingual development,
and the relationship between multilingualism and literacy. Submissions
may highlight, but need not be limited to, the effects of
multilingualism relative to any of the topics on the following
non-exhaustive list (presented alphabetically):
 - Code-switching
 - Cognitive aging
 - Cognitive control
 - Cross-cultural perspectives
 - Cross-linguistic comparisons
 - Cross-linguistic influence
 - Executive functions
 - Heritage languages
 - Immersion and exposure
 - Indigenous languages
 - Language acquisition (L1 — including bilingual and trilingual L1 —
L2 and L3/Ln)
 - Language attrition
 - Language disorders
 - Language learning environments
 - Language policy
 - Language processing
 - Language revitalization and reclamation
 - Linguistic distance
 - Literacy
 - Minoritized and lesser used languages
 - Multilectalism
 - Multilingual pedagogies
 - Neurocognitive adaptations (structure and function)
 - Neurodivergent populations
 - Sign language
 - Theory of Mind
