12-13 August 2025 @ Heinrich-Heine-Universität Düsseldorf

We are pleased to announce the second edition of LILG – Linguistic Intersections of Language and Gender. It is to be held at Heinrich-Heine-Universität Düsseldorf, Germany, 12 – 13 August 2025. While we are planning a hybrid conference to accommodate the needs and wishes of all participants, we encourage speakers to partake in person.

The conference is a collaboration of members of Heinrich-Heine-Universität Düsseldorf and the Association for Diversity in Linguistics.

Conference Aims and Topics

The main purpose of LILG is to gather different linguistic perspectives of the intersection and interplay of language and gender in current research. We invite work on gender biases, gender-fair language, pronouns, and other gender-related topics (including sexuality) from all areas of linguistic research.

Find our Call for Papers here.

Programme

The programme will include invited talks, oral presentations, and poster presentations.

 

Languages

While the conference language is English, research on any language is invited.
