PhiLang 2027

The Department of Linguistics and Communication at the University of Lodz announces the Tenth International Conference on Philosophy of Language and Linguistics. As in previous years, the principal aim of our Conference is to bring together philosophers, linguists, and logicians, as well as researchers interested in argumentation, philosophy of literature, and philosophy of mind.

As this is the tenth edition of the conference, we are taking the general theme ‘Recent trends in the Philosophy of Language and Linguistics’. We shall be happy to see contributions which reflect on and seek to explain the ways in which the field has developed since we began the series in 2009. As always, however, we invite submission of abstracts on any topic in the philosophy of language and linguistics, broadly understood. We encourage innovative work and works in progress, and we are always keen to attract new researchers at the beginning of their careers. Priority will be given to abstracts which are situated within the current state of the art and look to go beyond it.

Presentations should last a maximum of 30 minutes (including discussion and questions). The conference will not be held in a hybrid form: all participants should be present with us in Lodz. The language of the conference is English.
 
Selected conference proceedings will be published in a monographic volume and special issues of international journals.

Instructions for submission will appear here.
