About ICTEAP

The International Conference on Theoretical East Asian Psycholinguistics (ICTEAP) intends to promote dissemination of state-of-the-art findings in psycholinguistics, with emphasis on research that has cross-linguistic implications and empirical work that refers to East Asian languages, following the spirit of The Tokyo Conference on Psycholinguistics (TCP).

The Fifth International Conference on Theoretical East Asian Psycholinguistics (ICTEAP-5) will be organized as an in-person event at Waseda University, Tokyo, Japan, on April 17 (Thu) - 19 (Sat), 2025.

We invite submissions of papers in any area of L1 and L2 acquisition, (bimodal) bilingual acquisition, language processing, and cognitive neuroscience of language, among others, as well as theoretical studies (in phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, or pragmatics) that have implications for “Plato’s Problem” (“How do we gain a rich linguistic system given our fragmentary and impoverished experience?”).

A special session on ‘Theoretical, Computational, and Biological Models of Human Language’ will be organized. In light of this special session, studies from interdisciplinary paradigms are especially encouraged.
