Submission Deadline: 31-Oct-2025

As the next event in the (by now) long series of Morphology Meetings in Central Europe, the 22nd International Morphology Meeting will be held in Budapest, Hungary, from May 28th through 31st, 2026, organized by the HUN-REN Hungarian Research Centre for Linguistics (formerly known as the Research Institute for Linguistics of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences). The meeting will consist of a main session, a poster session, and two to four workshops, in keeping with the traditions.

We invite papers on subjects including, but not limited to, the main topic of the conference:

Atypical Morphology:
The leitmotif of the conference is going beyond the boundaries. This may include but is not limited to such diverse topics as theory-challenging morphological processes; constraint-violating and rule-bending word formation and inflection; marginal word formation processes; the morphological characteristics of dominantly isolating languages; non-agglutinative features in agglutinative languages; and many more. Besides the leitmotif, we also welcome papers on any other phenomena related to morphology.

Workshops:
We envisage there be two to four accompanying workshops adjoined to the main session of the conference, for which we are expecting proposals from prospective conveners. Thematic proposals for these workshops are welcome by August 18, 2025.

Abstracts:
2-page abstracts for 20-minute presentations (plus 10 minutes for discussion) or a poster should be submitted via the meeting’s online services. The submission URL will be announced in subsequent call circulars, as well as on the conference website. Submission is limited to one individual and one joint authorship abstract (or two joint authorship ones) per person.
