The 48th GLOW Conference will take place on April 21-23, 2026, at the University of Siena (Italy) and will be followed by a satellite workshop to be held at the University of Florence (see separate call).

Main session:
Abstracts are invited for 18 long talks and for 60 posters, to be presented in person, on the formal analysis of natural languages, as well as on theoretically informed experimental work or corpus-based research.
While there is no pre-determined theme, we encourage submissions that relate to an important methodological development in the field, that is, approaches that explore the interfaces between different components in the architecture of language by integrating the competences of researchers specialized in different subfields. This, in our view, allows for a much more fine-grained analysis of relevant phenomena and, in many cases, contributes to a stronger convergence between theoretical and experimental approaches.

Instructions for submission:
- Abstracts must be in PDF format.
- Abstracts must not exceed two pages of A4 paper, including figures. References can be included on an additional page.
- Abstracts should have 2.5 cm margins on all sides, set in a font no smaller than 12 points.
- Submissions are limited to one individual and one joint abstract per author, or two joint abstracts per author.
- The abstract must be submitted electronically using OpenReview at: https://openreview.net/group?id=glowlinguistics.org/GLOW/2026/Colloquium

We recommend that authors create an OpenReview account at lest 15 days before the submission deadlime.
- Each abstract must indicate whether it is to be considered for a talk or poster.
