We are pleased to announce that ICAME47 will take place in Koblenz (Germany) on 26-30 May 2026. ICAME (International Computer Archive of Modern and Medieval English) is an annual international conference and one of the longest-standing organisations of linguists and data scientists working with English language corpora.

The conference theme is “A Confluence of Corpus Research in the Age of AI”. We welcome abstracts on both traditional and innovative corpus-based approaches to the study of English. While contributions that engage with the theme - particularly the intersections between corpus research and AI - are especially encouraged, submissions need not be focused on AI. Relevant research areas include, but are not limited to: corpus linguistics, historical linguistics, computational linguistics, natural language processing, statistics, data science, sociolinguistics, multilingualism, (socio)phonetics and second language acquisition.

The academic programme will feature full papers, work-in-progress reports, software demonstrations, poster sessions & invited plenary talks. We will also have pre-conference workshops on Tuesday, 26 May 2026 (see Call for Workshops on our website). The social programme includes a welcome reception, a boat trip & a gala dinner.

The following keynote speakers have confirmed their participation:
Jane Stuart-Smith (University of Glasgow, UK)
Jonathan Culpeper (Lancaster University, UK)
Laurence Anthony (Waseda University, Japan)
Natalia Levshina (Radboud University, the Netherlands)
