Submission Deadline: 30-Oct-2026

The 24th Old-World Conference in Phonology (OCP24) will take place at
the University of Lausanne (Switzerland) from 31 March to 2 April
2027. We invite submissions reflecting various perspectives on
phonology, including but not limited to formal, typological, and
laboratory approaches. Abstracts based on first-hand empirical data,
especially field data on lesser-resourced languages, are particularly
encouraged. The conference will be held in person.
The Old-World Conference in Phonology (OCP) was founded in 2003 by the
Leiden University Centre for Linguistics and the Meertens Institute.
Initially inspired by a series of HIL-Phonology (HILP) conferences
held in Leiden, Amsterdam, and Potsdam, OCP has grown into a prominent
annual event that attracts both junior and senior researchers from
around the globe. Over the years, OCP has been hosted in various
cities across Europe (most recently in Cambridge), including Warsaw,
Verona, London, Düsseldorf, Budapest, Barcelona, Leiden, Istanbul,
Berlin, Marrakech, Nice, Edinburgh, Toulouse, Rhodes, Budapest,
Tromsø, Leiden, Eivissa, Donostia/San Sebastian, Tours, and Amsterdam.
Each conference features a diverse range of presentations covering
both experimental and theoretical aspects of phonology.
Submission Guidelines:
Abstracts (in English) should be submitted as fully anonymized PDF
documents. The main text must be in 12 pt Times New Roman; other fonts
may be used in transcriptions or similar cases. The content must fit
entirely on one A4 page with 2.54 cm margins on all sides. If
necessary, up to two additional pages of the same format may be used
for references, figures, and tables.
Presenters may specify whether they prefer the traditional talk (20+10
mins) or poster formats. Submissions from students and early career
researchers are welcome. One person can submit up to two abstracts,
with only one as single or first author.
Key Dates:
30 October 2026: submissions close
18 December 2026: accepted submissions' authors notified
31 March–2 April 2027: conference takes place in Lausanne
