Dear colleagues,
We are pleased to announce that the* Second Workshop on Replication in the Language Science (WoReLa 2 https://sites.google.com/view/worela2/home)* will take place in *Cologne, Germany *on*8–9 July 2027* with a fantastic line-up of keynote speakers and an exciting pre-conference reproduction hackathon (more on that soon!).
The call for abstracts https://sites.google.com/view/worela2/call-for-abstracts is open and the deadline is *15 August 2026*. We welcome submissions reporting on the outcomes of replications in all subdisciplines of linguistics using any (set of) method(s), but also reproductions, multiverse analyses, and meta-scientific contributions on the state of replicability and the adoption of open science practices in the language sciences, as well as demonstrations of concrete tools, teaching materials, software, and workflows that can help linguists do better research and build more cumulative knowledge.
WoReLa 1 https://sites.google.com/view/worela1/home in Frankfurt last year was a wonderful meeting of like-minded people with positive ideas for change and we hope that you will want to join us for this exciting second edition in Cologne! We would also be very grateful if you could circulate this call among any interested friends, colleagues, and students.
Many thanks and best wishes,
Elen, on behalf of the entire organising committee
