Meeting Description:

The Cross-linguistic 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 2021 is hosted by the Center for the
Interdisciplinary Study of Language Evolution and the Department of
Comparative Language Science at the University of Zurich, September 16-17,
2021. The workshop will be held online.

Keynote speakers:
Elena Lieven (University of Manchester)
Asli Ozyurek (Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics, Nijmegen)


Call for Papers: 

We invite contributions for 20-minute talks on the interface of linguistic
diversity and language processing, encompassing production, comprehension, and
acquisition, as well as abstracts on issues that psycholinguists in the field
might encounter or plans for cross-linguistic work. 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
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 processing and acquisition theories
 - Studies providing processing-based or learning-based explanations of
language change and typological distributions

In addition, we understand that the COVID-19 pandemic has made
cross-linguistic and fieldwork-based research particularly difficult and
therefore we also welcome abstracts which address:

 - Issues which may be specific to cross-linguistic processing (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
 - Plans for experimental cross-linguistic work that the speakers 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.
 - Methods for processing corpus data for psycholinguistic goals in
low-resource languages

Abstracts should be submitted as PDFs at
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=xppl2021, no later than *11 July
2021*, and should not exceed one A4 page (one additional page for
interlinear-glossed examples, references, and figures are allowed).
