The 3rd International Conference on Linguistics

“Linguistics for Humanity in the Age of AI”

03 December 2026

It has been decades since linguistics began to transcend beyond the study of structure. Linguistics has departed from the confines of phonetics and phonology (the study of linguistic sounds), morphology (the study of word formation), syntax (the study of the structure of phrases, clauses, and sentences), and semantics (the study of meanings). Countless studies have been undertaken involving linguistics and other related disciplines.

Different aspects of human language are also studied under the headings of law and criminology (forensic linguistics), psychology (psycholinguistics and cognitive linguistics), communication sciences (pragmatics and semiotics), social sciences (critical discourse analysis), computer sciences (computational linguistics), and cultural studies (ethnolinguistics and linguistic variations). Through such interdisciplinarity, linguistics offers perspectives and solutions to the diverse and complex issues and problems of humanity.

How do interdisciplinary studies involving linguistics address problems of humanity? The Faculty of Cultural Sciences of Universitas Padjadjaran invites students, scholars, and experts to share knowledge about and discuss issues of humanity in The 3rd International Conference on Linguistics (ICL): Linguistics for Humanity. 

Please send a 250-word abstract for individual papers, accompanied by a short biographical note on all speakers (100-150 words) and 5-6 keywords no later than September 20th, 2026.
