9^th Young Linguists’ Meeting in Poznan (YLMP 2025): 1^st Call for Papers

Young Linguists’ Meeting in Poznań (YLMP) is a congress organized by and for young linguists who appreciate the significance of interdisciplinary research and therefore want to go beyond the traditional branches of linguistics. We believe that the connection between linguistics and other fields of study, such as psychology or sociology, is both crucial and pervasive. Our goal is to present the advantages of an integrated approach and emphasize its importance for contemporary linguistic research. YLMP 2025 will take place on 16-18 May 2025 in Poznan, Poland. The conference will be organized by the Faculty of English, Adam Mickiewicz University, Poznan.  

The leitmotif of YLMP2025 is:

“Integrating AI and linguistics for the future of social interaction”

We encourage graduate and post-graduate students, as well as PhD holders up to seven years after their thesis defense, to submit papers to the conference. All other researchers are more than welcome to attend the event without a paper of their own and contribute to the discussions.
