The International Conference on the Mental Lexicon is soliciting abstracts
for papers or posters that bear on the question of how morphologically
simple and complex words are represented in the mind (their morphological,
phonological, syntactic, and semantic properties), how they are linked
to one another, and how they are accessed in the processes of language
production and comprehension. We welcome submissions of theoretical,
psycholinguistic, neurolinguistic, and computational research.

Alberta. The University is located in the city of Edmonton and is one the
