IWoLP 2027 (6–8 Jan Hong Kong)

The International Workshop on Language Production (IWoLP) is a biennial conference series and one of the most prestigious venues in cognitive science for research on how the brain produces language. Since its inaugural meeting in Marseille in 2004, IWoLP has brought together leading scholars across linguistics, psychology, neuroscience, and computer science for keynote talks, poster sessions, and parallel sessions on topics from lexical selection and syntactic encoding to bilingual production, monitoring, and multimodal communication.

Hosting IWoLP 2027 in Hong Kong marks the first edition in the Asia-Pacific region. It opens new opportunities for regional collaboration, strengthens the global visibility of language production research in Asia, and provides an invaluable platform for early-career researchers to engage with the international community. The 2027 theme, “Language Production in the Age of Multilingualism and Generative AI” ^Updated!, highlights how multilingual speakers produce language and how cognitive, neural, and computational approaches illuminate production in multilingual settings.
