On behalf of the IALS Committee:

The 9th conference of the International Association of Literary Semantics will be held from 8-10th April 2021 at the University of Vilnius, Lithuania. The title of the conference is ‘Game of Theories’. The confirmed keynote speakers so far are Lesley Jefferies (University of Huddersfield) and Aneżka Kuzmičová (Stockholm University). A call for papers and further details can be found on the conference website here: https://ialsconference2021.wordpress.com. The deadline for submission of abstracts is December 31st 2020. If you’d like to learn more about IALS and its activities, the Association’s main website is here: www.ials.ac.uk. 

We look forward very much to seeing some of you in Vilnius in the Spring for a celebration of the collegiality and togetherness we have so sorely missed in recent times.
