ISAPL
Almost 30 years later, the International Congress of the International Society for Applied Psycholinguistics (ISAPL) returns to the Faculty of Arts and Humanities of the University of Porto in Porto, Portugal, continuing the exceptional and visionary work of the founders of this international scholarly association.
The 13th International Congress of the International Society for Applied Psycholinguistics (ISAPL 2026) will take place from 11 to 13 June 2026, bringing together researchers, faculty members, and students from around the world to discuss recent developments in the field of Applied Psycholinguistics and related areas. The congress will be held in person at the Faculty of Arts and Humanities of the University of Porto and will feature keynote lectures by invited speakers as well as presentations selected from submitted contributions.
The scientific programme is organized around Thematic Symposia, addressing key issues in Applied Psycholinguistics and reflecting the diversity of theoretical, methodological, and interdisciplinary approaches that currently characterize the field. The symposia selected by the Scientific Committee are now open for Abstract Submission, and researchers are invited to submit contributions that engage directly with the themes proposed within each symposium.
Submissions should present recent research and clearly articulate the theoretical framework, research questions, methodology (when applicable), and main findings or expected contributions. We particularly welcome work that promotes dialogue between theoretical and applied perspectives, including experimental research at the interface between linguistic theory and applied psycholinguistics.
The submission portal is open. Abstracts may be written in English or Portuguese and must be submitted in anonymized PDF format. Each submission should include one A4 page of main text, with the option to add one additional page for supplementary materials such as examples, figures, or references.
ISAPL 2026 aims to foster interdisciplinary exchange and provide a dynamic forum for both established scholars and early-career researchers, strengthening international collaboration in the field of Applied Psycholinguistics.
