Meeting Description:

X-PPL hosts research on adult processing and acquisition which takes a
crosslinguistic view beyond the languages which are most commonly studied
experimentally.

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 processing principles of the human mind and brain and that,
conversely, processing and cognition may be shaped by the specific linguistic
experiences we are exposed to. Although it has not yet reached mainstream
research, the cross-linguistic study of language processing and learning has
received more attention in recent years.

The Crosslinguistic Perspectives on Processing and Learning workshop (X-PPL)
aims to fill this gap and provide a platform for cross-linguistic research on
language processing and learning. X-PPL 2020 will be held at the University of
Zurich, August 31 – September 1, 2020.

Keynote speakers:
Asli Özyürek (Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics / Radboud University)
Elena Lieven (University of Manchester)
Matt Wagers (University of California Santa Cruz)

Organizers:
Carmen Saldana
Caroline Andrews
Sebastian Sauppe

Balthasar Bickel
Sabine Stoll


Call for Papers: 

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 are shaped by (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

Abstracts should be submitted as PDFs, no later than 15 April 2020, and should
not exceed one A4 page (one additional page for interlinear-glossed examples,
references, and figures is allowed).
Abstracts can be submitted via EasyChair at:
https://easychair.org/account/signin?l=LepicU1u52W3PBjRbv7lid
