The aim of the conference is to bring together psychological, computational, and theoretical perspectives on the cognitive mechanisms which underlie any aspect of human language processing. Submissions which integrate experimental psycholinguistic evidence with formal or computational models of psychological processes are especially encouraged. Topics relevant to the conference include (but are not limited to): -Bilingual language processing -Computational models, symbolic and connectionist -Corpus-based studies and statistical mechanisms -Cross-linguistic studies -Dialogue processing -Discourse -Language production -Lexical processing -Learning mechanisms -Models of acquisition -Neurobiology of language processing -Parsing and interpretation -Prosody Keynote Speakers: Linda Smith (Indiana), Judith Kroll (Penn State), Morten Christiansen (Cornell) Important Dates: Registration and abstract submission will open on May 1st. Abstracts should be submitted by May 28th. Early registration will end July 30th. Call For Papers The deadline for submission of abstracts has been put back to Friday June 4th (midnight, BST). Abstracts should be submitted as .pdf .doc or .docx files. PDF files are the safest means of submission, as fonts and figures are more likely to be preserved. Please remember that many applications include information about the author in the metadata associated with the created file, and this can potentially compromise the double-blind review process. You can view/edit this by selecting from the application menu anything that reads ''Properties...'', ''Information...'', ''Inspector'', and so on. The text should be no longer than 500 words including tables and figure captions, but excluding bibliography. All the relevant information (text of the abstract, figures, tables, references) should not exceed 1 page (A4 format). Abstracts should not contain author information, addresses, or affiliations. We are operating a double-blind review process (further details on the submissions page, the link for which is below). The abstract should, where possible, stress the novelty of the research, as well as the findings. Reviewers will be asked to take novelty into account when proposing oral presentations.
