Aims and Background目标和背景:
Prediction plays a central role in theories of language processing and is assumed to influence both the speed and accuracy of processing. Although there is a lively debate about what form prediction may take (cf. Huettig & Mani 2016, Kuperberg & Jaeger 2016, Pickering & Gambi 2018), there is little work examining the influence of linguistic and experimental diversity on prediction. For a better understanding of prediction, we invite researchers from all branches of empirical/experimental linguistics to examine three facets of diversity in language processing:
Intra- and Inter-individual Diversity: Usually explored in coarse group comparisons (e.g., mono- vs. multilingual) or broad cognitive distinctions (e.g., working memory), intra- and inter-individual diversity remains underdescribed and less well understood. How do language users differ in their predictive abilities and strategies, and how are these differences shaped by biological and/or cultural influences?
Stylistic Diversity: Despite calls for more naturalistic stimuli, the majority of language processing research still focuses on a very constrained register of well-controlled sentences composed in the standard language. How are predictions shaped by extra- and meta-linguistic context, such as register/genre or accent/speaker identity?
Methodological Diversity: A wide variety of empirical methods are now available, yet the majority of studies use only one or two. What opportunities and challenges do we face, when integrating multiple approaches to examine linguistic diversity in human’s predictive capacity? How much diversity can our methods handle?

Call for Papers征稿:
We invite abstracts for oral presentations (20mins talk + 10 discussion), describing original research on linguistic and methodological diversity in predictive processing. Abstracts must be anonymous and must not exceed one page, including examples, figures and references. Please submit your abstract in PDF format, with 1 inch margins on all sides and 12 point font size.
