Nordic Linguistics: Recent Trends and Future Directions
Uppsala University
Dates: May 20–22, 2026

The ICNGL conference series (also known as NGL) provides an open forum for linguistic research in order to facilitate the exchange of ideas on Nordic (including Germanic, Finnic, Saami and Greenlandic) and other languages. Its main goals are to create and strengthen connections between researchers working on different languages, with different methodological and theoretical approaches.
The conference series is organized under the auspices of the Nordic Association of Linguists:
The Nordic Association of Linguists (NAL)
The 13th conference in the series will be held at Uppsala University. The topic of the conference is "Nordic Linguistics: Recent Trends and Future Directions", but the organizers welcome all contributions that fall within the scope of the conference.
