Call Deadline: 31-May-2019 

Meeting Description:

In the past few decades, there has been increasing evidence suggesting that
the distribution of linguistic features among the world's languages is
influenced by information processing principles of the human mind and brain
and that, conversely, cognition may be shaped by the specific linguistic
experiences we are exposed to.


Call for Papers:

In the past few decades, there has been increasing evidence suggesting that
the distribution of linguistic features among the world’s languages is
influenced by information processing principles of the human mind and brain
and that, conversely, cognition may be shaped by the specific linguistic
experiences we are exposed to. 

We invite contributions for 20-minute talks on the interface of linguistic
diversity and language processing, encompassing production, comprehension, and
acquisition. Specifically, we invite contributions presenting new evidence on:

- whether and how grammars adapt to (cognitive and neurobiological)
constraints on processing, learning, and external pressures
- whether and how the different grammatical properties of linguistic systems
might afford the application of different processing and learning strategies.

We welcome in particular:

- studies examining production, comprehension, or developmental phenomena in
one or more language(s) chosen for differences in their grammatical
characteristics
- experimental studies on under-researched languages providing implications
for existing processing and acquisition theories
- studies providing processing-based or learning-based explanations of
language change and typological distributions

Keynotes:

Inbal Arnon (Hebrew University)
Monique Flecken (Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics)
Michael C. Frank (Stanford University)
David Kemmerer (Purdue University)

Abstracts should be submitted online as PDFs at
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=xppl2019, no later than May 31, 2019,
and should not exceed one A4 page (one additional page for references and
figures is allowed).
