TCP 2012 was held on March 9 and 10.
This year we invited Dr. Shoichi Takahashi (Hitotsubashi University) and Dr. Charles Yang (University of Pennsylvania). Dr. Takahashi talked on asymmetries in movement in terms of Case. Dr. Yang discussed exceptions to productive regularities in the grammar and the learning of them.
We also had several oral and poster presentations dealing with topics such as linguistic theory, L1 and L2 acquisition, and language processing. The invited talks and each presentation inspired lively discussions with the participants.
This year, we had many participants from the begging, and at the reception held on Day1 everyone enjoyed informal conversations with other attendees.
We are delighted that the conference was over smoothly and successfully (though last year we were forced to cancel most of the program because of the earthquake). We thank the invited speakers, participants, and other concerned parties for helping TCP2012.
We look forward to your continuous assistance and meeting you at TCP 2013 on March 8 and 9.

TCP 2012 Call for Papers
The Institute of Cultural and Linguistic Studies at Keio University will be holding the 13th Tokyo Conference on Psycholinguistics (TCP 2012) on March 9 and 10, 2012.
The invited speakers are
Dr. Charles Yang, University of Pennsylvania and
Dr. Shoichi Takahashi, Hitotsubashi University.
We encourage you to submit papers for oral presentation and poster presentation.

[Call for Papers]
The 13th Tokyo Conference on Psycholinguistics
http://www.otsu.icl.keio.ac.jp/tcp/
Keio University, Mita, Tokyo
March 9 and 10, 2012
THE TOKYO CONFERENCE ON PSYCHOLINGUISTICS welcomes papers that represent any scientific endeavor that addresses itself to “Plato’s Problem” concerning language acquisition: “How we can gain a rich linguistic system given our fragmentary and impoverished experience?” Its scope thus includes linguistic theory (phonology, morphology, syntax and semantics), L1 and L2 acquisition, language processing, and the neuroscience of language, among other topics.
We believe that there are some types of studies which are suitable for oral presentations, and others, which are suitable for poster presentations. We would like to accept both types of studies at the Conference. The time for an oral presentation will be 20 minutes with a 10 minute discussion period (a total of 30 minutes). There is the possibility that some papers of outstanding quality will be given longer time slots (i.e., a 30 minute presentation with a 15 minute discussion period). Furthermore, the space allotted to a poster presentation will be 90 cm (width) x 180 cm (length). The guidelines for the abstract submission are as follows.
Submissions that do not meet the guidelines will be rejected without review.
1. Only e-mail submissions will be accepted.
2. You may submit at most one single (sole-authored) paper and two joint (co-authored) papers. Namely you may submit any of the following:
a. one sole-authored paper
b. one sole-authored paper and one co-authored paper
c. one sole-authored paper and two co-authored papers
d. one co-authored paper
e. two co-authored papers
3. The abstract must be received by November 30, 2011 by 11:59 pm JST (Japan Standard Time) via e-mail to: tcpabst2012#otsu.icl.keio.ac.jp (#→@). This address will be effective from October 1 to November 30, 2011. Late submissions will not be accepted. Notification of receipt will be e-mailed to the first author shortly after receipt.
4. The subject of the e-mail should be “abstract".
5. The body of the e-mail should include:
a. the author information (name, affiliation, mailing address, e-mail address, and telephone number; If your paper has multiple authors, provide information regarding all of the co-authors. And, if you are in Japan, add kanji where relevant.),

TCP Proceedings 2011 & TCP 2012
On the first day of TCP 2011 (March 11th), a devastating earthquake hit us. It happened around 3 p.m., just after the third presentation of the program. Considering the severity of the situation at that time, we had no choice but to cancel the rest of the program.
Although this circumstance was totally unexpected, the participants remained calm in the sudden disaster. We greatly appreciate their patience and understanding. We also appreciate the warm and supportive messages that people from all over the world have been sending us. All of the staff members are fine.
Following our original plan, we will publish the proceedings of TCP 2011 in November 2011. The proceedings will contain all of the papers that were presented or scheduled to be presented at TCP 2011, including the ones of the two guest speakers, namely, Jeffrey Lidz (University of Maryland) and Hisatsugu Kitahara (Keio University).
Additionally, TCP 2012 will be held on March 9 and 10 at Keio University in Tokyo next year as scheduled. This is because many parts of Tokyo have been recovering from the disaster and judging by present circumstances, there should not be any impediments to holding of the conference. We will post the Call for Papers for TCP 2012 in our blog and poster in July.
We hope many people will participate in TCP 2012, and would like to ask all of you to consider submitting an abstract to the next TCP. We are looking forward to seeing you at the next conference.

We are all okay.
To those who sent us e-mail messages,
We are all okay. The earthquake hit us when we were in the midst of the Tokyo Conference on Psycholinguistics, and we were forced to escape from the conference hall for some time. Fortunately, none of us were injured. The staff members stayed overnight in a room next to the conference hall since public transportation was paralyzed, and we just got back to our office a few minutes ago.
We reluctantly decided to cancel the rest of the TCP program. We appreciate your understanding.
