The Department of Translation and Language Sciences of the Universitat Pompeu Fabra, with the collaboration of the research group Infolex, is pleased to announce the celebration of the XV Congreso Internacional de la Sociedat Española de Historiografía Lingüística, with the title: Prescriptivismo y descriptivismo desde las periferias. It will be held at the Universitat Pompeu Fabra (Poblenou campus) on 17, 18, 19 and 20 March 2026.

Following the consolidated trajectory in the holding of on-site conferences, this event will include plenary lectures, round tables and communications. This edition will deal particularly with the historiography of prescriptive and descriptive works, although the general topics of linguistic historiography (history of theoretical problems, history of linguistic models and theories, etc.) will be present, as usual in the international congresses that the SEHL dedicates to this discipline.

As in previous editions, the main objective is to provide an opportunity for philologists and linguists specialized in Linguistic Historiography to meet and exchange ideas, as well as a space for updating their knowledge in different areas of study through the presentation of scientific research results, with the aim of learning from each other and networking.
