Dear Colleagues,
This is a kind reminder that the Semmelweis Medical Linguistics Conference (SMLC 2026) will take place on 5–6 June 2026 in Budapest, Hungary, in a hybrid format. This conference series aims, for the fourth time, to bring together researchers, educators, and professionals working in the field of healthcare communication and medical linguistics. The thematic scope includes, among others, patient-centred communication, medical translation and interpreting, terminology, pragmatics, artificial intelligence, metaphors, speech analysis, medical documentation, and languages for specific purposes.
Following the conference, participants will be invited to submit their manuscripts to the Semmelweis Medical Linguistics Investigations series, published by Peter Lang. All submissions will be subjected to peer review and will be automatically considered for indexing.
We warmly encourage you to participate either in person or online. Regular presentations, poster presentations, workshops, as well as general participation, are welcome from researchers, educators, and PhD students in linguistics, healthcare, and interdisciplinary fields.
We would be most grateful if you could share our Call for Papers within your professional networks. In addition to traditional academic channels, we kindly invite you to disseminate the call via social media, including Facebook, TikTok, Instagram, and LinkedIn.
For further information, please feel free to contact us or visit the conference website.
We very much hope to welcome you at SMLC 2026 in Budapest.
With kind regards,
The SMLC Organising Committee
