(Call for Papers)

The 14th Tokyo Conference on Psycholinguistics
http://www.otsu.icl.keio.ac.jp/tcp/
Keio University, Mita, Tokyo
March 8 and 9, 2013

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.
Submissions that do not meet the guidelines will be rejected without review.
1. Only e-mail submissions will be accepted.
2. You may submit at most one single (sole-authored) paper and two joint 
(co-authored) 
papers.
Namely you may submit any of the following:
a. one sole-authored paper

This address will be effective from October 1 to November 30, 2012. 
Late submissions will not be accepted. Notification of receipt will be 
e-mailed
to the first author shortly after receipt.

If your paper has multiple authors, provide information regarding all of 
the co-authors.
And, if you are in Japan, add kanji where relevant.),

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

7. Submitted papers must be original work (i.e., not been presented at 
other conferences, 

not been submitted for publication or published elsewhere).

8. Please note that 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 13, 2013 
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 2013.

In addition, we are planning to publish a volume of the conference

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 2013.
Unfortunately, TCP has no funds for financial assistance. Participants are 
expected 
to make their own travel arrangements.
