Hiroshima Lexical
Research Forum

The Hiroshima Lexical Research Forum is a group for vocabulary researchers to share and present ideas. Our members range from world-renowned experts to beginning PhD students. We are based in Hiroshima, but our members are all over the world in  New Zealand, Germany, France, and the UK. We provide a supportive and rigorous environment to help all from early-career to long in the tooth researchers.

Yearly Conference

We held our first H-LRF conference in 2019 on campus at Hiroshima University. While the H-LRF conference began in person, COVID made it necessary to move to an online format. The online H-LRF conference has since taken place each summer over three days. We have been fortunate to hear some prestigious keynote talks, and ground-breaking and cutting-edge research some of which we've seen our members publish in leading academic journals!! Our aim is to support early-career researchers and PhD students with help from our world experts!
