The International Linguistic Society is delighted to invite you to participate in the International Conference of Morphology Research and Applications (Morphology 2026 Online), to be held virtually from 23–25 September 2026.
Morphology is one of the fundamental components of linguistic analysis and language function. Morphological variability shapes lexical structure and enriches communication. Each language has its own unique morphological system, which underpins lexical representation and meaning. This international event promotes the study of both theoretical morphology and experimental methodologies, with a strong focus on real-world applications in education, healthcare, and technology.
The conference aims to create a collaborative space for researchers, professionals, and especially early-career scholars to present their work, share ideas, and contribute to the ongoing development of morphological science.
Keynote lectures will be delivered by distinguished scholars from across the field of morphology, offering new perspectives and broadening the scope of linguistic research and application.
