Languages and Language at the Crossroads of Disciplines (LLcD) is a research network supported by the CNRS (French National Centre for Scientific Research). The network organizes an international conference in France each year with the aim of advancing scientific understanding of human language and linguistic systems, as well as serving as a forum to support new collaborations and cross-fertilization between different research disciplines and approaches.
The annual LLcD Meeting changes location and theme each year. Following the first edition, we are now organizing the 2nd LLcD Meeting, which will take place at the University of Lille from September 1 to 5, 2025.
This year’s conference will feature several general sessions, thematic workshops and invited lectures presented in a round table format. The languages of communication will be English and French. A call for workshop proposals will precede the call for individual presentations. See the key dates here.
The conference is open to proposals on any area of Linguistics and Language sciences.
As every year, a specific theme will be highlighted through a Round table that will take place on September 3. This year’s theme is: Language Appropriation and Reappropriation: Theoretical, Experimental, and Corpus-Based Approaches to language acquisition and language rehabilitation. Confirmed panelists:
Registration will remain open until July 10, 2025.
The registration fee includes access to the full conference and thematic workshops, the roundtable session, as well as lunches on September 1st, 2nd, and 3rd, and refreshments served during coffee breaks.
A cocktail reception, offered as an optional event with a limited number of places, will be held at the end of the first day, on September 1st (contribution: €35 per person).
Registration for the conference, the roundtable, and this convivial event must be completed via the dedicated platform: here.
The summer school will be held from September 3 to 5 and will focus on Theory and Data in Language Research. The presentations will be in English, but discussions and exchanges with the speakers can also take place in French. Speakers:
