Finally: our community discussion session. Program chair Claire Bonial introduces this year's new tracks, "Language and the Brain" and "Usage-based approaches (incl. Construction Grammars)". Both will receive a steady home at CoNLL and SIGNLL.

#CoNLL, the Conference on Computational Natural Language Learning (co-located with ACL 2026) conll.org July 3 & 4, 2026
And now - last but not least - our outstanding and best paper session!
We’re not done yet! Our afternoon session is starting in 10 minutes 🎉
Day 2 of #conll kicking off with a keynote by the amazing Adele E. Goldberg @adelegoldberg.bsky.social 🗣️🎉
And that's a wrap for day 1! ✅ If any of the presented papers has piqued your curiosity, don't hesitate to check out our official proceedings: aclanthology.org/events/conll...

Livetweet @mcxfrank.bsky.social talk: If we care about intelligence and cognition, AI has recently allowed a change; we now have two ways to study them. AI is of course allowing us a lot that we wouldn't dare on our Children (brain surgery, never tell a child about cats...) #acl #conll
Happening soon in current CoNLL session! (4-5:30) #conll #conll2026 #psycholinguistics #NLP #ThematicFit
Since Safeyah is not (yet?) on Bluesky, I’ll post for her: Happy to share that our paper on thematic fit and autoregressive LLMs has been accepted to CoNLL 2026! #conll #conll2026 #psycholinguistics #NLP #ThematicFit
Happening now: our poster session! #conll Stop by for over thirty posters on cognitively, linguistically and theoretically motivated approaches to natural language learning! 🗣️🗣️🗣️
Today at CoNLL (paper links in thread): 1️⃣ 2:00 - 3:30 poster session (Harbor C): Zhenghao Herbert Zhou on what children's filler-gap input looks like! 2️⃣ 4:00 - 5:30 talk session (Harbor C): Claire Hobbs on how input statistics can support the learning of abstract syntactic rules!
@mcxfrank.bsky.social on the stage now, showing how we can study language learning in model systems (aka our beloved language models)!
CoNLL will kick off in 10 minutes, with opening remarks followed by a keynote delivered by @mcxfrank.bsky.social! 🎉
🎉 CoNLL is just around the corner and will begin in t=-24h! 🎓 Stay tuned for two days full of talks, posters and keynotes by Michael C. Frank @mcxfrank.bsky.social and Adele Goldberg @adelegoldberg.bsky.social ! 📚 For more information please check out the full programme at www.conll.org

We are excited to announce the second keynote of CoNLL 2026! Adele Goldberg (Princeton University) “Compositionality and creativity in natural language and LLMs” 📅 Saturday, July 4, 2026 🕘 09:00 📍 Room Harbor B #CoNLL2026 #NLP #Compositionality
CoNLL 2026 is just around the corner! Join us for our first keynote: Michael C. Frank (Stanford University) “Comparing early language learning in children and language models” 📅 Friday, July 3, 2026 🕘 09:15 📍 Room Harbor B #CoNLL2026 #NLP #LanguageAcquisition
Hallucinated references are the talk of the town now. How did we go about paper submissions with "hallucinated" references? At CoNLL, we viewed incorrect references as a violation of fundamental scholarly standards, and papers with such references were not sent for review.
What makes CoNLL special? Well many things, but one of them is that we just released the notifications of acceptance two days before the deadline! So, possibly for the first time in NLP history, no author will be spending a day refreshing an Open Review page!
