The second Biennial
The second Biennial
From 18 to 20 November 2026, the second Biennial of Czech Linguistics conference will take place at the Faculty of Arts of Masaryk University in Brno.
The aim is to cover Czech linguistics in all its methodological and content breadth. We welcome contributions and participants from all linguistic disciplines, philologies and from all theoretical and methodological paradigms.
The conference is structured around thematic workshops. These workshops will undergo an initial review process by the Programme Committee. The Biennial will also be complemented by a poster session and a popularisation programme.
More information on submitting a workshop proposal can be found in the Conference call section.
The second edition of the Biennial follows the inaugural edition held in September 2024 at the Faculty of Arts of Charles University, information about the first conference can be found here.
The Biennial of Czech Linguistics is held under the patronage of the Linguistic Society of the Czech Republic.
