CoNLL 2026: 3rd & Final Call for Papers San Diego, California, United States, July 3-4, 2026 (co-located with ACL) https://www.conll.org/
CoNLL 2026 will include online presentations for authors who will not be able to attend the conference in person due to visa related issues. NEW: We are pleased to announce that CoNLL 2026 keynote speakers will be Adele Goldberg (Princeton) and Michael C. Frank (Stanford)! SIGNLL invites submissions to the 30th Conference on Computational Natural Language Learning (CoNLL 2026). The focus of CoNLL is on theoretically, cognitively and scientifically motivated approaches to computational linguistics and NLP. We welcome work targeting any aspect of language and its computational modeling, including: Computational Psycholinguistics, Cognition and Linguistics Computational Usage-Based Grammars (e.g., Construction Grammars) Computational Social Science and Sociolinguistics Interaction and Dialogue Language Acquisition, Learning, Emergence, and Evolution Multimodality and Grounding Typology and Multilinguality Speech and Phonology Syntax and Morphology Lexical, Compositional and Discourse Semantics Theoretical Analysis and Interpretation of ML Models for NLP Resources and Tools for Scientifically Motivated Research Language and the Brain We do not restrict the topic of submissions to fall into this list. However, the submissions’ relevance to the conference’s focus on theoretically, cognitively and scientifically motivated approaches will play an important role in the review process. Submissions may be rejected prior to review if they fail to meet this relevance criteria. Submissions CoNLL will accept only direct submissions this year. Submission will be via OpenReview. An OpenReview profile is required for all authors. We accept two types of submission: archival, and non-archival. Archival submissions must be anonymous and use the same template as the ACL 2026. Submitted papers may consist of up to 8 pages of content plus unlimited space for references. Authors of accepted papers will have an additional page to address reviewers’ comments in the camera-ready version (9 pages of content in total, excluding references). Optional anonymized supplementary materials and a PDF appendix are allowed. Please refer to the ACL website for more details on the submission format. Note that, unlike ACL, we do not mandate that papers have a discussion section of the limitations of the work. However, we strongly encourage authors to have such a section. Non-archival submissions are not anonymous. We will accept submissions that fit into CoNLL’s scope (see above for a description) and have been published in 2024, 2025, and 2026 in relevant conferences (*ACL, COLING, NeurIPS, ICLR, CogSci, …) and journals (TACL, Computational Linguistics, other journals in the areas of interest for CoNLL). Multiple submission policy: CoNLL 2026 follows the ACL 2026 policy, which follows the ARR policy: CoNLL “precludes multiple submissions […] will not consider any paper that is under review in a journal or another conference at the time of submission, and submitted papers must not be submitted elsewhere during the […] review period. This policy covers all journals and refereed and archival conferences and workshops […] In addition, we will not consider any paper that overlaps significantly in content or results with papers that will be (or have been) published elsewhere.” Authors submitting more than one paper to CoNLL 2026 must ensure that the submissions do not overlap significantly (>25%) with each other in content or results. Submission of pre-prints to arXiv and other platforms: we again follow the same policy as ARR: “[archival] submissions will remain anonymous during peer review, but authors are free to post and discuss non-anonymous preprints at any time.” **NEW** Human Subjects & IRB requirements: CoNLL 2026 requires that papers reporting on new human subjects data (collected in a lab or online) include details (in the main paper or in an appendix) on (1) how the data was obtained (2) how participants were recruited and paid (3) how consent was obtained (4) whether an IRB protocol was approved for this study. Note that providing this information is obligatory. Also please be aware of OpenReview's moderation policy for newly created profiles. We advise you to create a profile well in advance: New profiles created without an institutional email will go through a moderation process that can take up to two weeks. New profiles created with an institutional email will be activated automatically. Timeline (All deadlines are 11:59pm UTC-12h, AoE) Submission deadline (archival and non-archival): February 19 2026 Notification of acceptance: April 21 2026 Camera-ready papers due: May 12 2026 Conference: July 3-4, 2026 CoNLL 2026 Co-Chairs Claire Bonial, Georgetown University Yevgeni Berzak, Technion Publication Chairs Katrien Beuls, Université de Namur Paul Van Eecke, Vrije Universiteit Brussel Publicity Chair Harish Tayyar Madabushi, University of Bath Contact Questions?
