The 2026 16th International Conference on Languages, Literature, and Linguistics (ICLLL 2026) invites scholars, researchers, and practitioners to explore the dynamic relationship between tradition and innovation in the fields of language, literature, and linguistics. The conference, held in Tokyo, Japan, from November 27-29, 2026, aims to provide a platform for discussing how traditional linguistic theories, literary analyses, and cultural interpretations intersect with modern advancements in language technology, digital humanities, and contemporary literary criticism. This year, the conference theme is "Advancements in Language and Literature: Bridging Tradition and Innovation in Linguistic Studies".

 

ICLLL 2026 is sponsored by Otsuma Women's University, Japan and co-sponsored by Tokyo Healthcare University, Japan. As language and literature continue to evolve with globalization and technological progress, this conference will highlight the importance of bridging historical approaches with innovative methods and tools. We invite submissions that explore a wide range of topics, from classic linguistic theories and literary traditions to cutting-edge research in computational linguistics, artificial intelligence in language studies, and the role of literature in shaping modern society.
