This workshop showcases cutting-edge research in language processing, drawing inspiration from pioneering work in the field of psycholinguistics. This pioneering work was instrumental in identifying the core issues within the field and played a pivotal role in founding an annual interdisciplinary conference, now recognized as a premier event in psycholinguistics. The workshop features presentations on a variety of topics, including how grammatical structures influence our understanding of language, the insights into human cognitive processes offered by computational models, and the mechanisms behind children's acquisition of word and sound patterns. This event is strategically scheduled immediately before the annual interdisciplinary conference to enhance accessibility for students and foster engagement from scholars across the globe. Psycholinguistics, as a discipline, investigates the intricate processes that enable the human brain to associate linguistic forms with their meanings. This area of study is not only significant as basic research but also has practical implications in today's technology-driven society. Innovations such as Large Language Models and other types of artificial intelligence have brought to the forefront essential questions about how language is learned and used. As the world becomes more interconnected, there is greater demand for language education and a deeper understanding of the impact of bilingualism on cognitive and neural functioning. This workshop merges insights from various research methodologies – including behavioral analysis, computational theory, and neurobiology – to outline promising directions for future investigations in linguistics.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

该研讨会展示了语言处理方面的尖端研究，从心理语言学领域的开创性工作中汲取了灵感。这项开创性的工作有助于确定该领域内的核心问题，并在成立年度跨学科会议中发挥了关键作用，该会议现在被公认为是心理语言学中的首要活动。该研讨会的特点是各种主题的演讲，包括语法结构如何影响我们对语言的理解，计算模型提供的人类认知过程的见解以及儿童对单词和声音模式的获取背后的机制。该活动在年度跨学科会议之前立即安排在战略上，以提高学生的可及性并促进全球学者的参与度。作为一门学科，心理语言学研究了使人脑能够将语言形式与含义联系起来的复杂过程。该研究领域不仅是基础研究的重要意义，而且对当今技术驱动的社会具有实际影响。大型语言模型和其他类型的人工智能等创新使有关学习和使用语言的方式引起了最前沿的问题。随着世界变得越来越相互联系，对语言教育的需求更大，并且对双语对认知和神经功能的影响有了更深入的了解。该研讨会融合了各种研究方法的见解，包括行为分析，计算理论和神经生物学 - 概述了在语言学上的未来调查的承诺指导。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是通过基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛影响的审查标准来通过评估来获得的支持。
