Dutch Annual Linguistics Day

The AVT, Anéla, and LOT annually organise the Dutch Annual Linguistics Day, where all linguists in the Netherlands meet up.

Dutch Annual Linguistics Day 2026

Announcement Dutch Annual Linguistics Day 2026

The next Dutch Annual Linguistics Day will be held on Tuesday 27 January 2026. As last year, this edition will be held at Utrecht University Science Park. We will organize a very varied program with lectures, coffee moments, the Language Gala, and an inspiring keynote by Jimmy van Rijt. As usual, the AVT/Anéla dissertation prize and the LOT popularization prize will be awarded at the end of the day, during the Language Gala.

Call for abstracts

If you are an AVT or Anéla member and if you wish to give a presentation at the Dutch Annual Linguistics Day, you can submit an up to 170 words abstract via this form until Sunday 7 December 2025. The presentation can last up to 20 minutes (with 5 minutes question time).

• If you want to present in English, you can indicate this with an English title and summary instead of a Dutch one.
• You are allowed to submit a maximum of 2 abstracts (1 as first author, 1 as co-author).

If you do not receive an online confirmation of your abstract submission, please contact Remco Knooihuizen (r.m.knooihuizen@rug.nl). If there are more speakers than slots in the program, the most recently received abstracts will be included as 'alternates'.

Location
In 2026, the Dutch Annual Linguistics Day will once again be held in the Marinus Ruppert Building at Utrecht Science Park. Bus and tram stops are practically right outside (Heidelberglaan stop), and Utrecht Science Park P+R is a 12-minute walk from the venue. The main entrance is on Leuvenlaan.
