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) 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 this link: https://x-ppl-26.sciencesconf.org/user/createaccount
