Linguistic Field(s): Neurolinguistics; Psycholinguistics 

Call Deadline: 11-Jan-2019 

Meeting Description:

PIPP will bring together psycholinguistic and neurolinguistic research which
addresses the predictive power of the parser. It is hosted by the Brain and
Language project at the University of Iceland, funded by the Icelandic
Research Fund 2016-2018. The project investigated the processing of
morphological, semantic and prosodic cues in container compounds in Icelandic.
We welcome a wide range of experimental research on any language, addressing
the processing of cues by the parser.


Call for Papers:

EasyChair abstract submissions:
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=pipp2019

We invite the submission of abstracts in psycho- and neurolinguistics that
address the predictive power of the parser and we encourage submissions
relating to a wide range of languages.  The parser sorts through a large
amount of information to find important cues in the speech stream for building
an accurate model of the structures and sounds being produced.  But to what
degree does the parser use that information to make predictions about upcoming
information?  Are those predictions probabilistic or categorical?  How
aggressive is the parser in making predictions?  How costly is processing in
the environment of previous incorrect predictions?  What cues are used in
prediction, and how do they interact?  

Presentations will be 20 minutes, followed by 10 minutes for discussion. In
addition, there will be poster sessions.  Submissions must be received by 11
January 2019.  Notifications on acceptance will be sent out in mid February.

Abstract guidelines:
-Abstracts should be no more than one (A4) page plus one additional page for
figures, tables, and references; they should  have 2.5 cm (1 inch) margins on
all sides, and be set in Times New Roman with a font size no smaller than
11pt.
-The submission must not reveal the identity of the author(s) in any way.
-Abstracts must be submitted in PDF format through EasyChair by 11 January
2019.
