[CogSci] 2nd Call: Crosslinguistic Perspectives on Processing and Learning 2025

[ISLE X-PPL]

Dear all,

the call for abstracts for the Crosslinguistic Perspectives on Processing and Learning (X-PPL) Workshop on 1 - 2 September 2025 is still open:

https://www.isle.uzh.ch/en/events/x-ppl2025/call-for-abstracts.html

Deadline: 31 May 2025

This workshop brings together the growing community of researchers working to expand the diversity of languages in the scope of psycholinguistics and the neuroscience of language. The research of this community is driven by the recognition that structural/typological and socio-cultural diversity provides important and unique opportunities to see language processing and language learning mechanisms at work and to gain deeper insights into the balance between universal and varying dimensions of these mechanisms. The bulk of processing and acquisition research represents only a small fraction of linguistic diversity, which risks biasing both our theories and our research questions.

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.

Our keynote speakers this year are Sudha Arunachalam<https://steinhardt.nyu.edu/people/sudha-arunachalam%20https:/steinhardt.nyu.edu/people/sudha-arunachalam> and Lars Meyer<https://www.cbs.mpg.de/person/44724/2482%20https:/www.cbs.mpg.de/person/44724/2482>, see website for more details.
