WoProc 2026: 13th International Word Processing Conference

WoProc 2026, the 13th International Word Processing Conference, focuses on how the human mind processes individual words—a deceptively simple question that sits at the heart of psycholinguistics, neurolinguistics, and reading science. From the millisecond timing of lexical access to the neural correlates of morphological decomposition, word processing research illuminates fundamental aspects of language cognition.

Psycholinguists, neurolinguists, cognitive scientists, and computational modelers of lexical processing gather to present experimental studies using eyetracking, EEG, fMRI, and behavioral paradigms, alongside computational models of morphological and phonological processing. WoProc 2026 is particularly relevant for researchers interested in reading disorders, bilingual lexical access, and the extent to which morphological structure is computed or listed in the mental lexicon. Graduate students entering the field will find it an excellent venue for situating their work within a rich and contested empirical landscape.
