The West Coast Conference on Formal Linguistics, or WCCFL (pronounced /wɪkf
əl/), is an annual linguistics conference, usually held in the spring at a
university in western North America. Research presented at WCCFL can focus on
any theoretical or formal aspect of natural language analysis, including
phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics and pragmatics, and their
interfaces.
WCCFL 44 will take place in Mexico City on May 6–7, 2026, and will be hosted
by the Instituto de Investigaciones Antropológicas and the Facultad de
Filosofía y Letras at UNAM.

formal aspect of natural language, including but not limited to phonology,
morphology, syntax, semantics, pragmatics, and their interfaces. In this
edition, abstracts and talks will be accepted both in English or Spanish.
