This research is driven by the recognition that structural/typological and socio-cultural diversity represents different opportunities to see processing and learning mechanisms at work. The bulk of processing and acquisition research represents only a small fraction of linguistic diversity, and this risks skewing both our theories and research questions.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.92; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;" class=""> </p><div style="line-height: 1.92; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;" class=""><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;" class="">The </span><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; font-weight: 700; font-style: italic; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;" class="">Crosslinguistic Perspectives on Processing and Learning Workshop</span><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; font-weight: 700; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;" class=""> (X-PPL)</span><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;" class=""> aims to fill this gap and provide a platform for cross-linguistic research on language processing and learning.
