General information

The V Congresso Internacional de Linguística Histórica (International Conference on Philology and Diachronic Linguistics), V CILH – will take place online, starting on July 19, 2021. The V CILH will be also an opportunity to pay homage to two outstanding linguists that helped crucially to the development of Historical Linguistics in Brazil: Mary Kato and Charlotte Galves.

Our virtual structure is composed of two environments:

(1) this official website and

The conference will include conferences, communication sessions, poster sessions, workshops and short courses. We welcome papers related to one of our six great thematic areas:

  1. Textual criticism, text editing and digital humanities;
  2. Theoretical linguistics;
  3. Linguistic change, contact and language acquisition;
  4. Lexicon;
  5. Sociolinguistics, dialectology and social history;
  6. Linguistic historiography, literature and culture.
