Special Issues of Digital Comparative Literature (Call for Expressions of Interest)
by Pianzola, Federico 08 Jul '26

08 Jul '26

We are seeking articles for a number of special issues within the framework of the International Comparative Literature Association (ICLA) Short-term Research Committee on Digital Comparative Literature (DCL) Comparative Literary Studies and Digital Humanities pose a double, mutually enriching challenge to one another. Distant reading and large-scale digitization have opened new perspectives on literature, yet comparative work remains among the hardest terrains for digital research, not least because of multilingualism and intermediality, since computational tools and corpora are still overwhelmingly English-centric and text-focused. This collection invites contributions that work at this intersection and that speak to a readership of comparative literature scholars. We welcome proposals addressing any aspect of digital comparative literature, including but not limited to: computational and distant reading methods and their epistemological stakes; the construction, use, and politics of large digital archives; books and reading in a postdigital context (multimodality, digital social reading); data visualization for literary analysis (network analysis, mapping); electronic literature, interactive digital narrative, digital storytelling; and machine translation, language models, and artificial intelligence (AI) for literary analysis. Theoretical reflections, methodological proposals, and concrete case studies are all welcome, provided they are framed for and accessible to comparative literature scholars. We have confirmed interest from a few comparative literature journals for the publication of special issues. A selection of the proposals received will be made — in consultation with the ICLA-DCL committee — and accepted articles will be assigned to the best-fitting venue, with a concrete proposal then made to each author. Two article formats - Short articles: max. 4,000 words - Long articles: max. 8,000 words Please indicate your intended format in your submission. How to express interest Submit an abstract of up to 500 words together with a short biographical note (max. 150 words) to Federico Pianzola (f.pianzola(a)rug.nl) and Samya Brata Roy (sroy4(a)gitam.edu). Deadline: 7 September 2026. Indicative timeline - September 2026: review of proposals and assignment to venues, in consultation with the ICLA-DCL committee - Late September 2026: authors contacted with a proposed venue and timeline - From Autumn 2027 onwards: first publications, with subsequent articles appearing on a rolling basis depending on each venue's schedule Selection and timelines will depend on fit with the participating journals; not all expressions of interest can be guaranteed placement. Preliminary inquiries for the suitability of contributions are welcome, please address them to Federico Pianzola (f.pianzola(a)rug.nl). The text of this call is also available at https://icla-dcl.quarto.pub/info/news/2026/ICLA-DCL-journals-cfp.html Kind regards, ICLA-DCL committee

Second Call for Papers: The 7th Workshop on Gender Bias in NLP (GeBNLP 2026)
by Agnieszka Faleńska 07 Jul '26

07 Jul '26

Second Call for Papers: The 7th Workshop on Gender Bias in NLP (GeBNLP 2026) 5th AACL & 15th IJCNLP, November 9, 2026 Hengqin, China (Remote-only mode) About the Workshop The GeBNLP workshop <https://gebnlp-workshop.github.io/> serves as a leading venue for the study, evaluation, and mitigation of gender bias in natural language processing. As large language models (LLMs) become foundational to recent NLP applications, addressing how these systems represent and affect different genders, alongside intersecting demographic axes such as race, ethnicity, nationality, religion, and ability, remains a critical challenge for the AI community. While foundational progress has been made in algorithmic debiasing and balanced data collection, recent large-scale evaluations reveal that state-of-the-art models continue to exhibit persistent stereotypes and confidence disparities across intersectional identities (Siddique et al., 2024; Savoldi et al., 2024). Our workshop serves as a multidisciplinary bridge, enabling researchers to define shared standards for tasks and metrics that ensure technical advancements are deeply rooted in the social and ethical realities of systemic harm (Dai et al., 2024). Topics of Interest We invite submissions on a wide range of topics related to gender bias in NLP, including but not limited to: Measurement and Evaluation: New metrics and datasets for quantifying bias in LLMs, MT, and multimodal systems. Mitigation Strategies: Technical approaches to debiasing (e.g., fine-tuning, adapter-based methods, or prompting strategies). Multilingual and Cross-Cultural Perspectives: Bias in low-resource languages or non-Western cultural contexts. Intersectionality: Research exploring how gender bias intersects with race, disability, age, or nationality. Ethical and Legal Frameworks: Policy implications and the "Human-in-the-loop" role in auditing AI systems. Authors are encouraged to go beyond binary gender definitions and discuss how their work addresses the complexity of intersecting stereotypes and the diverse demographic contexts involved. Submission Guidelines Long Papers are up to 8 pages and short Papers are up to 4 pages (excluding references and appendix). Non-Archival Submissions: Authors may opt for non-archival submission, allowing work of standard conference quality to be presented without being published in the official proceedings. Submission Link <https://openreview.net/group?id=aclweb.org/AACL-IJCNLP/2026/Workshop/GeBNLP…> (Blind submission is required) Important Dates Paper Submission Deadline: Wednesday, September 2, 2026 Pre-reviewed (ARR) submission deadline: Tuesday, September 29, 2026 Notification of Acceptance: Friday, October 2, 2026 Camera-Ready Version Due: Monday, October 12, 2026 Workshop Date: Monday, November 9, 2026 Organizers Giuseppe Attanasio, Instituto de Telecomunicações, Lisbon Christine Basta, Alexandria University & HiTZ, University of the Basque Agnieszka Faleńska, University of Stuttgart Vera Neplenbroek, University of Amsterdam Debora Nozza, Bocconi University Karolina Stańczak, ETH AI Center, Zurich Marta R.

[EACL 2027] First Call for Papers
by ACL Announcements 07 Jul '26

07 Jul '26

*First Call for Main Conference Papers* EACL 2027: 20th Conference of the European Chapter of the Association for Computational Linguistics March 9-14, 2027, Athens, Greece Special Theme: The Human in Language ARR submission deadline: Aug 3, 2026 EACL commitment deadline: Oct 11, 2026 Details: https://2027.eacl.org/calls/papers/ *Overview* EACL 2027 invites the submission of long and short papers featuring substantial, original, and unpublished research on Natural Language Processing. EACL 2027 has a goal of curating a diverse technical program. In addition to traditional research results, papers may contribute negative findings, survey an area, announce the creation of a new resource, argue a position, report novel linguistic insights derived using existing computational techniques, and reproduce (or fail to reproduce) previous results. We also introduce the Special Theme "The Human in Language", which we hope will stimulate exciting research contributions. As in recent years, some of the presentations at the conference will be of papers accepted by the Transactions of the ACL (TACL) and the Computational Linguistics (CL) journals. *Submission information* EACL 2027 will use ACL Rolling Review (ARR) as its reviewing system, but final decisions will be made by the conference. Both the submission of articles for review and the commitment of reviewed articles to the conference will be handled via the OpenReview platform, in a two-step process: * Authors submit articles to ARR, where submissions receive reviews and meta-reviews from ARR reviewers and action editors. * Authors commit their reviewed articles to a publication venue (e.g. EACL 2027), where Senior Area Chairs and Program Chairs make acceptance decisions from the ARR reviews and meta-reviews. Papers must be submitted, at the latest, by the ARR 2026 August cycle. Papers that have received reviews and a meta-review from ARR (whether from the ARR 2026 August cycle or an earlier ARR cycle) may be committed to EACL via the commitment link. Dual submissions are not allowed; please check the ARR Call for Papers for details. The reviewing process will continue to be double-blind. Reviewers will not see authors, nor will authors see reviewers, and reviews on ARR will not be made publicly visible. However, authors will be given the option through ARR to make their anonymized submitted articles publicly visible. Following the ACL and ARR policies, there is no anonymity period requirement. During the commitment phase, it is not allowed to modify the author list (addition/deletion of authors is not allowed); however, modification of author order is possible. The authors should contact ARR with any questions about the review process at editors [at] aclrollingreview.org. For questions about commitment and post-review topics, contact eacl2027-pcs [at] googlegroups.com. *Important Dates* * *ARR submission deadline (long & short papers)*: 3 August 2026 * *Reviewer registration deadline for ALL authors*: 5 August 2026 * *Author response period*: 14 - 19 September 2026 * *Reviewer engagement & author-reviewer discussion*: 20 - 24 September 2026 * *Meta-reviews released*: 8 October 2026 * *EACL 2027 commitment deadline*: 11 October 2026 * *Notification of acceptance (long & short papers)*: 12 November 2026 * *Camera-ready papers due (long & short)*: 26 November 2026 * *Main Conference (Workshops/Tutorials dates TBD)*: 9 - 14 March 2027 All deadlines are 11:59 PM UTC-12:00 ("anywhere on Earth"). *Important change*: For this cycle, author response and author-reviewer discussion are two separate stages. In the first (14-19 September 2026), authors take the time to respond to the reviewers; reviewers will not be engaged at this stage. In the second (20-24 September 2026), reviewers and authors engage in any necessary discussion and reviewers finalise their reviews. Further details will be provided in due time. Mandatory Reviewing Workload All authors are expected to sign up to review, or serve as an Area Chair or Senior Area Chair, with assignments subsequently based on qualifications. After submission, all authors must complete the author registration form by 5 August 2026 EoD AoE. If you receive assignments, reviews must be completed by 7 September, and meta-reviews by 2 October. In case of emergencies, the chairs should be warned via the emergency declaration form. Exemptions to this policy are detailed in the ARR Author Reviewer Exemption Policy page. Highly irresponsible reviewers may be ineligible to (re-)submit or commit their work during the next ARR cycle. Submitting authors should (a) make sure all other authors are aware of this policy, and (b) check that everybody on their team(s) submits their (meta-)reviews on time and in accordance with the guidelines. Additional details on the definition of highly irresponsible reviewers and the corresponding ARR policy are available at https://aclrollingreview.org/incentives2025 *AI Reviewing Experiment (opt-in)* The Program Committee plans to run an opt-in AI Reviewing Experiment to collect feedback from authors on the utility of AI Reviewers in the review process. The AI reviews for opted-in submissions will not inform any part of the conference decision process. The experiment will run under IRB approval, using open-weights models on in-house compute resources, or closed models that guarantee zero-data retention. *Paper Submission Details* Both long and short paper submissions should follow all ARR submission requirements, including instructions for two-way anonymized review; authorship; citation and comparison; the multiple submission, resubmission and withdrawal policies; ACL's Publication Ethics Policy and ARR's Ethics Policy (including the responsible NLP research checklist); ACL's Disclosure Policy; a dedicated Limitations section; writing assistance rules; paper templates; and optional supplementary materials. Please see the ARR CfP for full details (https://aclrollingreview.org/cfp). *Contact Information* General Chair: * Isabelle Augenstein, University of Copenhagen Program Chairs: * Malvina Nissim, University of Groningen * Roi Reichart, Technion - Israel Institute of Technology * Sara Tonelli, Fondazione Bruno Kessler For questions related to paper submission and the review process in general, email: editors [at] aclrollingreview.org For questions about commitment and post-review related topics, email: eacl2027-pcs [at] googlegroups.com Read more: https://2027.eacl.org/calls/papers/

by Lauersdorf, Mark R. 06 Jul '26

06 Jul '26

*** NARNiHS 2027 *** North American Research Network in Historical Sociolinguistics *** Ninth Annual Meeting *** 100% IN PERSON *** Co-Located with the Linguistic Society of America (LSA) Annual Meeting *** San Francisco, California, USA *** 6-9 January 2027 This event offers an opportunity for scholars from all over the world to gather and share leading research in historical sociolinguistic methods of linguistic inquiry; and we invite our fellow historical sociolinguists and scholars in related fields from our global scholarly community to join us in San Francisco for our 9th Annual Meeting. Consult this Call for Abstracts on the web: https://narnihs.org/?page_id=3542 . ---------- Call for Abstracts ----------. Abstract submission online: https://easyabs.linguistlist.org/submit/NARNiHS_2027 Deadline: Monday, 24 August 2026, 11:59 PM US Eastern time. Late abstracts will not be considered. The North American Research Network in Historical Sociolinguistics (NARNiHS) is accepting abstracts for its 9th Annual Meeting. As a Sister Society of the Linguistic Society of America (LSA), NARNiHS will hold its Annual Meeting sessions at the LSA Annual Meeting in San Francisco, Wednesday-Saturday, 6-9 January 2027. The 9th edition of this inclusive NARNiHS event seeks to provide a collaborative environment where presenters bring fully developed work for presentation and enrichment. We see the NARNiHS Annual Meeting as a place for showcasing excellent projects in historical sociolinguistics, seeking feedback from peers, and engaging in productive development of the field's enduring questions. NARNiHS welcomes papers in all areas of historical sociolinguistics, which is understood as the application and/or development of sociolinguistic theories, methods, and models for the study of historical language variation and change over time, or more broadly, the study of the interaction of language and society in historical periods and from historical perspectives. Thus, a wide range of linguistic areas, subdisciplines, methodologies, and adjacent disciplines easily find their place within historical sociolinguistics, and we encourage submission of abstracts that reflect this broad scope. Abstracts will be accepted for both 20-minute papers and posters. Accepted papers will be organized into thematic sessions that will be scheduled throughout the 4 days of the LSA conference; accepted posters will be scheduled together in the LSA poster gallery. Please note that, at NARNiHS events, poster presentations are an integral and equal part of the intellectual exchange (not second-tier presentations). Abstracts will be assigned a paper or a poster presentation based on determinations in the review process about the most effective format for the submission. However, *if you prefer that your submission be considered primarily for poster presentation*, please specify this in your abstract. Successful abstracts will demonstrate *thorough grounding* in historical sociolinguistics, *scientific rigor* in the formulation of research questions, and *promise for rich discussion* of ideas. Successful abstracts will be explicit about which *theoretical frameworks*, *methodological protocols*, and *analytical strategies* are being applied or critiqued. *Data sources and examples* should be sufficiently presented, so as to allow reviewers a full understanding of the scope and claims of the research. Please note that *the connection of your research to the field of historical sociolinguistics* should be explicitly outlined in your abstract. Failure to adhere to these criteria will likely result in rejection of the abstract. *** Abstract Format Guidelines ***. - Abstracts must be submitted in PDF format. - Abstracts must fit on one 8.5x11-inch or A4 page, with margins no smaller than 1 inch (2.54 cm) and a font style and size no smaller than Times New Roman 12 point. You are encouraged to use the entire page to provide a full and robust description of the research. All additional supporting content (visualizations, trees, tables, figures, captions, examples, and references) must fit on a single (1) additional page. No exceptions to these requirements are allowed; abstracts longer than one page or with more than one additional page of supporting content will be rejected without review. - Specify if you prefer your submission be considered primarily for a poster presentation. - Anonymize your abstract. We realize that sometimes complete anonymity is not attainable, but there is a difference between the nature of the research creating an inability to anonymize and careless non-anonymizing (in citations, references, file names, etc.). Be sure to also anonymize your PDF file (you may do so in Adobe Acrobat Reader by clicking on "File", then "Properties", removing your name if it appears in the "Author" line of the "Description" tab, and re-saving the file before submission). Do not use your name as the file name when saving your PDF (e.g. Smith_Abstract.pdf); file names may not be automatically anonymized by the EasyAbs system. Rather, use non-identifying information in your file name (e.g. HistSoc4Lyfe.pdf). Your name should only appear in the online form accompanying your abstract submission. Abstracts that are not sufficiently anonymized wherever possible will be rejected without review. *** General Requirements ***. - Abstracts must be submitted electronically using the following link: https://easyabs.linguistlist.org/submit/NARNiHS_2027 - Authors may submit a maximum of two abstracts: One single-author abstract and one co-authored abstract. - Authors may not submit identical abstracts for presentation in NARNiHS Sessions and at the LSA Annual Meeting or another LSA Sister Society meeting (ADS, ANS, NAHoLS, SCiL, SPCL, or SSILA). - Specify if you prefer your submission be considered primarily for a poster presentation. - After submission, no changes of author, title, or wording of the abstract may occur. If your abstract is accepted, adjustment of typographical errors is permitted before a final version of the abstract is printed in the conference booklet. - Papers and posters must be delivered as projected in the abstract or represent bona fide developments of the same research. - Authors are expected to attend the conference in-person and present their own papers and posters. This will not be a hybrid event. Contact us at NARNiHistSoc(a)gmail.com with any questions.
