About TABU Dag

TABU Dag is an annual international linguistics conference that provides an excellent platform for linguists to connect, share ideas, and discuss cutting-edge research. The 2026 version will bring together early career researchers and scholars from all disciplines of linguistics and beyond. We encourage submissions from all areas of linguistics and welcome interdisciplinary research that transcends traditional linguistic boundaries. Graduate students and (post-)doctoral researchers are especially encouraged to present their work.
