Giornate Italiane di Linguistica Sperimentale

The Giornate Italiane di Linguistica Sperimentale (GILS) is Italy's flagship annual conference on experimental linguistics, providing a national forum where Italian and international researchers present empirical investigations into human language processing, acquisition, and cognition. The conference embraces psycholinguistic experiments, corpus studies, neuroimaging, and behavioral methods applied to a wide range of linguistic phenomena.

GILS brings together linguists, cognitive scientists, speech-language specialists, and graduate students interested in how the mind encodes and decodes language. Sessions typically address sentence processing, phonological and morphological cognition, bilingualism, and developmental linguistics. The event fosters collaboration between Italian research groups and the broader international experimental linguistics community, making it a vital meeting point for the field in Southern Europe.
