<Call for Papers>

The Tenth Tokyo Conference on Psycholinguistics
http://www.otsu.icl.keio.ac.jp
Keio University, Mita, Tokyo
March 13 & 14, 2009

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:

1. You may submit only one single (sole author) paper and only one
joint (co-authored) paper.

2. Only e-mail submissions will be accepted.

3. The abstract must be received by December 1, 2008 by 11:59 pm JST
(Japan Standard Time) via e-mail to: tcpabst2009 at otsu.icl.keio.ac.jp.
This address will be effective from October 1 to December 1, 2009.
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
address, and telephone number; If your paper has multiple authors,
provide information regarding all of the co-authors.  And, if you are
in Japan, add kanji where relevant.),

b. the type of presentation (Your choice will not be revealed to the
reviewers, and thus will not influence the review process.),
 A)  Oral
 B)  Poster
 C)  Either Poster or Oral

c. the title of paper,

d. the language(s) which you are focusing on in your paper,

e. the field(s) which your abstract involves (e.g, Morphology,
Phonetics, Phonology, Semantics, Syntax, Pragmatics, L1 acquisition,
L2 acquisition, 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.

7. Format the files of your abstracts (including bibliography) to A4
paper size, single-spaced, limiting the length to a maximum of 2
pages.  Since the abstract, if accepted, will be photocopied to be
included in the conference
handbook, make sure your margins have ample room.  This abstract will
also be placed on the TCP website.

8. The font size should be 12 point.  For any fonts used, a font file
should be attached.

9. Put the title in the center of the top of the first page.

10. Do not put your name on your abstract. (The abstract reviews will
be anonymous.)

11. 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, 2009 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 2009.  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 2009.

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