Societas Linguistica Europaea (SLE)

The Societas Linguistica Europaea (SLE) and Osnabrück University are pleased to announce the 59th Annual Meeting of the Societas Linguistica Europaea (SLE 2026), to be held in Osnabrück from 26 to 29 August 2026. SLE meetings provide a forum for high-quality linguistic research from all (sub)domains of linguistics.

International Society for Dialectology and Geolinguistics (SIDG)

Geolinguistics and dialectology are at a pivotal juncture in the 21st century, facing transformative challenges and opportunities that are reshaping the disciplines. Historically characterized by their adaptability to societal shifts and methodological advancements, these fields have continually evolved in response to the dynamic interplay of theoretical and empirical science. The recent surge in international collaboration has further broadened research horizons, fostering cross-border perspectives and enriching the scope of inquiry. Traditionally focused on the regional variation of individual languages, dialectology is now increasingly oriented towards typological studies and interlinguistic relationships. In an era defined by global change, the field has transcended its national boundaries to emerge as a truly international domain of study. Our conference theme, Geolinguistics across Borders, reflects this paradigm shift.

Organised jointly by ELAR and PARADISEC

Language documentation and archiving are key activities in the effort to preserve and support linguistic and cultural diversity globally. As new technologies emerge and evolve, new opportunities and challenges present themselves for how we record, curate, preserve, and disseminate linguistic and cultural materials. This conference invites documenters, scholars, activists, technologists, and others engaged in language documentation and archiving to present papers and posters exploring new approaches, methods, and technologies for documentation, archiving, and mobilization. We welcome critical and creative perspectives on the politics, practicalities, and possibilities for working with language documentation materials in both academic and community contexts.

RWTH Aachen University

The Translation in Transition conference series has served as a meeting site for empirical translation scholars for over ten years now. After seven successful editions of this conference series, the tradition will be continued with the 8th edition taking place in 2026 in Aachen, where a special focus will be on translation and interpreting at the intersection of various multilingual text production contexts. In keeping with tradition, the conference will make room for discussion of all strands of empirical research in translation and interpreting studies (TIS). In addition to this, the 2026 edition will host a workshop on the topic of transfer from TIS into other fields both within and outside of academia in cooperation with the newly founded Institute of Translatology

The Syntax of Nominal Copular Clauses Conference (SyNCC) will be held 23-24 September 2026 at Bielefeld University, Germany. SyNCC is part of the AHRC/DFG-funded SynCop project (http://syncop.info). It will focus on the syntax and semantics of sentences with a nominal predicate, aiming for a discussion with both breadth and depth. The immediate goal of the conference is to bring together both theoretical insights from in-depth analysis and a broadening of the empirical landscape to include work on un(der)-studied languages. The longer-term goal is to further advance our understanding of the principles underpinning the syntactic and semantic characteristics of non-verbal predication.
