Call for papers

The National School of Languages, Linguistics and Translation of the National Autonomous University of Mexico invites submissions for the Second Meeting on Experimental Linguisticsv, an event aimed at promoting the presentation, reflection, and discussion of linguistic research conducted through experimental methodological approaches.

The meeting will take place on November 4, 5, and 6, 2026, in a hybrid format (online and in person). The purpose of the Meeting on Experimental Linguistics is to bring together researchers and students interested in the analysis of linguistic phenomena from experimental perspectives, with the goal of fostering academic dialogue as well as theoretical and methodological reflection on different aspects of language.

The academic community is warmly invited to submit proposals exploring linguistic phenomena across different levels of analysis —such as phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, pragmatics, and interface studies, among others— whose data have been obtained through both offline and online experimental tasks. Research may focus on any language, although submissions reporting studies on underrepresented languages are especially encouraged.
