CoNLL 2026: 1st Call for Papers
San Diego, California, United States, July 3-4, 2026 (co-located with ACL)
https://www.conll.org/ 

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. 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
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

CoNLL will accept only direct submissions this year. Submission will be via 
OpenReview. We accept two types of submission: archival, and non-archival.

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). 

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 in the appendix.
