Germanic Linguistics Annual Conference 31

We invite faculty, graduate students, and independent scholars to submit abstracts to Germanic Linguistics Annual Conference 31. GLAC 2025 will take place in person at the University of North Texas from Friday, May 2 to Saturday, May 3, 2025. Preceding the main sessions of GLAC, there will be a workshop on computational linguistics on Thursday, May 1.

Papers may be on any aspect of any historical or modern Germanic language or dialect, including English (up to the Early Modern period) and the extraterritorial varieties. Papers from the full range of linguistic and philological subfields, including phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, pragmatics, sociolinguistics, stylistics, language variation, language typology, metrics, first and second language acquisition, foreign language education, language contact and language change, as well as differing theoretical perspectives, are welcome.

All participants may submit a maximum of two abstracts, including one abstract for a single-authored paper and one for a co-authored paper. Accepted papers will be scheduled for 30-minute presentations (a 20-minute talk, followed by a 10-minute question-and-answer period). All abstracts will undergo anonymous peer review.

Abstracts must be submitted electronically in PDF format by February 1, 2025. They should be anonymous, a maximum of one single-spaced page (including references), and in standard 12-point font. They should be submitted through EasyAbs at: https://easyabs.linguistlist.org/conference/GLAC31/

Notification of acceptance will be sent by March 1, 2025.

UNT is located in Denton, TX, about 40 minutes north of Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport (DFW). There is a second airport, Dallas Love Field (DAL), that is about 45 minutes away. While there is public transportation to Denton, the easiest way (by far) to get to Denton is by shared ride services.

We have reserved 40 rooms at a discount rate in SpringHill Suites (1434 Centre Place Drive, Denton, TX 76205). Reservations must be made by April 3, 2025. Click the following link to make a reservation:

There are two other hotels close to the conference site: Hampton Inn & Suites (1513 Centre Place Drive, Denton, TX 76205; tel. 940-891-4900) and Studio 6 (700 Fort Worth Drive, Denton, TX 76201; tel. 940-387-5840).

While it might be possible to walk to the conference site from Studio 6 (about 20-30 minutes), the other hotels are further away (40-50 minutes on foot). There are two other ways to get to the conference site (considering that part of the conference is on the weekend): GoZone vans at $1.50 per person/per ride (GoZone On-Demand | DCTA) and other shared ride services. There may be street parking around the university, but that is very limited.
