<Call for Papers>

The 12th Tokyo Conference on Psycholinguistics
http://www.otsu.icl.keio.ac.jp
Keio University, Mita, Tokyo
March 11 and 12, 2011

THE TOKYO CONFERENCE ON PSYCHOLINGUISTICS welcomes papers that represent any 
scientific endeavor that addresses itself to "Plato’s Problem" concerning 
language acquisition: "How we can gain a rich linguistic system given our 
fragmentary and impoverished experience?" Its scope thus includes linguistic 
theory (phonology, morphology, syntax and semantics), L1 and L2 acquisition, 
language processing, and the neuroscience of language, among other topics.

We believe that there are some types of studies which are suitable for oral 
presentations, and others, which are suitable for poster presentations. We 
would like to accept both types of studies at the Conference. The time for 
an oral presentation will be 20 minutes with a 10 minute discussion period 
(a total of 30 minutes). There is the possibility that some papers of 
outstanding quality will be given longer time slots (i.e., a 30 minute 
presentation with a 15 minute discussion period). Furthermore, the space 
allotted to a poster presentation will be 90 cm (width) x 180 cm (length).

The guidelines for the abstract submission are as follows.
Submissions that do not meet the guidelines will be rejected without review.
1. Only e-mail submissions will be accepted.

2. You may submit at most one single (sole-authored) paper and two joint 
(co-   authored) papers.
   Namely you may submit any of the following:
   a. one sole-authored paper
   b. one sole-authored paper and one co-authored paper
   c. one sole-authored paper and two co-authored papers

address will be effective from October 1 to November 30, 2010. Late 
submissions will not be accepted. Notification of receipt will be e-mailed 
to the first author shortly after receipt.

4. The subject of the e-mail should be "abstract".

5. The body of the e-mail should include:
  a) the author information (name, affiliation, mailing address, e-mail

Language Processing, Neuroscience of Language, and so on), and
 f) 3 keywords/phrases that best describe your paper.

6. A PDF file of your abstract in English should be attached to the e-mail. 
Document files (e.g., MS Word format) cannot be accepted. If you have any 
problems in applying by e-mail with a PDF file attachment, do not hesitate 
to contact us. (The abstract, if accepted, will be photocopied to be

Format the files of your abstracts as follows (including bibliography):

7. Please note that you cannot revise your abstract once it has been 
submitted.

We will notify you of the results of our review process via e-mail by 
January 12, 2011 at the latest. Those who are accepted as speakers will be 
requested to reply within several days if they are willing to present their 
papers at TCP 2011. Please let us know if you plan to be away from e-mail in 
early January.

In addition, we are planning to publish a volume of the conference 
proceedings. If your abstract is accepted, we will inform you of the details 
regarding this matter later. Most likely, you will be asked to e-mail us 
your paper as a MS Word and a PDF file attachment by mid-May 2011.

Unfortunately, TCP has no funds for financial assistance. Participants are 
expected to make their own travel arrangements.
