Call for Workshops

Proposal Submission Deadline:

Notification of Acceptance:

The 16th International Conference of the Association for Linguistic Typology, organized by the research unit “Dynamique Du Langage”, will be held at Université Lumière Lyon 2 (Lyon, France) on 1st–3rd July (Wednesday-Friday), 2026. Here we invite proposals for organized workshops, which will take place in parallel with general sessions on each of the three days of the conference. Proposals may address any topic of interest to the ALT community, including issues of regional interest, particular linguistic phenomena, and methodological developments

Accepted workshops will be publicly announced with the general ALT 2026 call for oral presentations and posters, which will go out in June 2025. For each workshop, approximately one-third of the slots should be filled by abstracts solicited through the open call. Abstracts submitted for workshops that get sufficiently good reviews but cannot be included in the workshop for lack of time will be retained for general sessions.

Proposals for workshops should contain:

• A title and brief (1-2 pages) description of the workshop topic and content.
• The desired workshop length (full day or half day), the workshop organisation (will it include an introduction by the convenors and/or a final discussion?) and an estimated number of the workshop presenters.
• The names, affiliations and emails of the organizer(s), with a short statement of their research interests and areas of expertise.
• The names and affiliations of tentative workshop presenters and the titles of their proposals.
• A description of special requirements for technical needs.
• A brief (one paragraph) description of the workshop for the open call. 

Proposals will be reviewed by the ALT 2026 Program Committee.

Notification of acceptance of workshop proposals will take place by June 15, 2025.
