Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The journal Languages is accepting submissions for a Special Issue regarding the syntax–prosody interface with a particular focus on East Asian languages. We aim to highlight both cutting-edge work regarding a current issue in linguistics and the contribution of research on often-marginalized languages to the shaping of general linguistic theory. We welcome submissions from any discipline within the broader ambit of linguistics, i.e., those that primarily situate themselves within syntax, semantics, pragmatics, morphology, phonology, and phonetics, as well as interdisciplinary contributions from areas such as psycholinguistics, neurolinguistics, computational linguistics, and language processing which clearly highlight theoretical consequences of the formal study of East Asian languages. We would like to emphasize that, alongside more theoretically oriented work, empirical contributions are also encouraged.
Tentative Completion Schedule
- Abstract Submission Deadline: 15 February 2024
- Notification of Abstract Acceptance: 15 March 2024
- Full Manuscript Deadline: 15 August 2024
We request that, prior to submitting a manuscript, interested authors initially submit a proposed title and an abstract of 400-600 words summarizing their intended contribution. Please send it to the guest editor ([email protected]) or to the Languages editorial office ([email protected]). Abstracts will be reviewed by the guest editors for the purpose of ensuring a proper fit within the scope of the Special Issue. Full manuscripts will undergo a double-blind peer-review.
