50th Anniversary of the Center for Linguistics of the University of Porto
9–10 November 2026, Faculty of Arts and Humanities of the University of Porto (FLUP), Portugal
In 2026, the Centre for Linguistics of the University of Porto (CLUP) will celebrate its fiftieth anniversary. To celebrate this milestone, CLUP is organising the international conference CLUP’26 – From Legacy to the Challenge of Innovation: 50 Years of the Centre for Linguistics of the University of Porto, which will take place on the 9th and 10th of November 2026 as an on-site event at the Faculty of Arts and Humanities of the University of Porto (FLUP), Portugal.
This conference aims to provide an opportunity to reflect on CLUP’s academic path since its foundation, as well as to discuss current and future challenges in linguistic research.
Researchers, lecturers and students from all academic levels and research fields working in the thematic areas of the conference are invited to submit proposals to present their investigations. Proposals that engage with — though not exclusively — CLUP’s core research areas will be particularly welcome::
- – Social Applications of Linguistics
- – Discourse, Communication and Society
- – Grammar: Structure and Uses
- – Historical Linguistics
Studies that do not directly fall within one of CLUP’s research areas but address topics relevant to linguistics will also be accepted.
Please find the submission instructions.
Submissions through: https://easyabs.linguistlist.org/conference/CLUP_50anos/
Working Languages
