The Society for Text & Discourse is proud to announce its 2026 annual meeting to be held July 29-31, 2026 at the Dubois Center at UNC Charlotte Center City campus (320 E 9th St, Charlotte, NC 28202). The Dubois Center offers state-of-the-art facilities and panoramic views of the city’s skyline. It’s conveniently located right in the heart of Uptown Charlotte, within walking distance of hotels, restaurants, museums, and other cultural attractions.We invite the submission of proposals for individual papers and posters to present original research on text and discourse processing, representation, and analysis.
The Society for Text & Discourse is an international society of researchers who investigate all aspects of text and discourse. The purpose of the Society is to foster and promote excellence in research, enhance communication among researchers in different disciplines, and contribute to the education and professional development of those in the field or entering the field. For researchers who are new to the Society, the range of topics that are generally presented at the conference can be seen by looking at past programs: https://www.
The conference will feature in-person presentations and poster sessions. In addition, we intend to support a limited number of remote synchronous talks for presenters who require that format. We also plan to accommodate remote attendance for most spoken presentations and an asynchronous virtual poster session for members unable to travel, consistent with previous years.
As part of the program, the conference will feature plenary addresses by Jeff Greene (UNC Chapel Hill), Tom Trabasso Young Investigator Award honoree, Nia Nixon (UC Irvine), and the Distinguished Scientific Award honoree (to be announced).
**The submission page will open on November 3, 2025. The submission deadline will be February 1st, 2026.
