X-PPL 2026: Crosslinguistic Perspectives on Processing and Learning
https://iker.cnrs.fr/xppl26 <https://xppl26-5cf5fb.gitpages.huma-num.fr/>

Call Deadline: 30 April 2026
Conference dates: 23 - 25 Sep 2026
Location: IKER-CNRS, Bayonne, Basque Country (France)

*Meeting Description*

The Crosslinguistic Perspectives on Processing and Learning Workshop 
(X-PPL) <https://xppl26-5cf5fb.gitpages.huma-num.fr/> brings together 
the growing community of researchers working to expand the diversity of 
languages in the scope of psycholinguistic and neuroscience research. 
This research 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. The 
bulk of processing and acquisition research represents only a small 
fraction of linguistic diversity, and this current state risks biasing 
both our theories and our research questions. The X-PPL workshop aims to 
fill this gap and provide a platform for cross-linguistic research on 
language processing and learning.

After several editions held at the University of Zurich (Switzerland), 
the conference will become itinerant this year and will be hosted by the 
AHAL Aquitaine Multilingual Lab (IKER-CNRS), at the University of Pau 
campus in Bayonne, from September 23 to 25, 2026.

The keynote speakers of this edition are:

  * Nina Kazanina (University of Geneva)
  * Evan Kidd (Australian National University)
  * Julia Krebs (University of Salzburg).

We invite contributions on any topic on language processing and 
acquisition which take into account typological diversity and/or 
lesser-studied languages. 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.

Abstracts should be submitted as single-page PDFs by *April 30 2026* at
