Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We invite proposals for contributions to this Special Issue entitled “Prosody in Shared Linguistic Spaces of the Spanish-Speaking World”. The goal of this Special Issue is to showcase state-of-the-art work on the prosody of Spanish and the languages that coexist with Spanish across the world. The Special Issue will examine how the rich typological diversity of languages in contact with Spanish contributes to our theoretical and empirical knowledge of prosodic systems. We welcome papers exploring the prosody of Spanish and/or any language that is or has been in contact with Spanish, including lesser described languages. While authors may choose to explore language contact between Spanish and a given language, this need not be the case. As such, papers may explore prosody from the perspective of any linguistic subfield. Given the breadth of languages in contact with Spanish from a wide range of language families, this Special Issue will make an important contribution to studies in prosodic typology. In addition, the wide array of contact scenarios and situations of bilingualism/multilingualism found in spaces where Spanish is spoken will enhance our understanding of the ways in which prosodic systems interact, especially given the aforementioned typological variation found in these spaces. Finally, we welcome papers that draw upon convivial scholarship and other methodologies employed in an effort to decolonize linguistic research.
