Meeting Description:

The Crosslinguistic Perspectives on Processing and Learning Workshop
(X-PPL) brings together the growing community of researchers working
to expand the diversity of languages in the scope of experimental or
corpus research on adults or language acquisition. 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.

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
2023 will take place on November 6-8, 2023.

Call for Papers:

X-PPL 2023 will be hosted by the Center for the Interdisciplinary
Study of Language Evolution and the Department of Comparative Language
Science at the University of Zurich, and will take place on November
06-08, 2023.

Keynote speakers:
Aylin Küntay (Koç University)
Susan Goldin-Meadow (University of Chicago)
Ina Bornkessel-Schlesewsky (University of South Australia)

X-PPL 2023 will be held onsite in Zurich. However, it will be possible
to accommodate a limited number of online talks (in a hybrid format).
To make X-PPL 2023 accessible to researchers all over the world, we
intend to stream all talks and discussions.

We invite contributions for 20-minute talks on the interface of
linguistic diversity and language processing (encompassing production
and comprehension), and language learning with the goal of
understanding linguistic ontogeny (first language acquisition) and
phylogeny (typological diversification, structural evolution). We also
invite abstracts on (a) methodological, cultural or other issues that
research on language processing and learning outside of the lab might
encounter or (b) plans for cross-linguistic work (see below).

Specifically, we invite contributions presenting new evidence on:
Whether and how grammars are shaped by (cognitive and neurobiological)
constraints on processing and learning, and by external pressures
Whether and how the different grammatical properties of linguistic
systems shape processing and learning strategies

We welcome in particular:
Experimental and observational studies on under-researched languages
providing implications for processing and acquisition theories
Studies examining production, comprehension, or (L1) developmental
phenomena in one or more language(s) that were chosen for their
grammatical characteristics
Studies providing processing-based or learning-based explanations of
language change and typological distributions

In addition, there are a number of factors that make cross-linguistic
and fieldwork-based research particularly difficult. Therefore, we
also welcome abstracts which address:
Methodological issues which may be specific to cross-linguistic
processing and acquisition research (such as small to non-existent
corpora resources, varying literacy levels among speakers,
participants who aren’t familiar with experiments/technology, etc.),
and the solutions which researchers have found to address these issues
Methods for processing corpus and experimental data for
psycholinguistic goals in low-resource languages
Furthermore, we invite abstracts on plans for experimental
cross-linguistic work that the presenters would like to get feedback
on, such as from researchers new to experimental cross-linguistic work
that may particularly benefit from the expertise of the community.
