Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Galician linguistics has a short history, but in the last 50 years it has seen remarkable development and, particularly in the last two decades, new lines of research have been initiated and new methodologies have been incorporated, demonstrating that Galician linguistics has reached a level of development comparable to studies in any other language in its context. The goal of this Special Issue is to present a representative sample of the state of research on Galician linguistics, including studies with innovative methodologies and lines of recent development in Galician linguistics, combining the work of researchers of recognized prestige with that of young researchers, as a sign of the field’s vitality and future prospects.
We encourage contributions on any aspect of the Galician language, particularly works that are an expression of recent developments in the field of language contact, variation, sociolinguistics and discourse and identity studies. Manuscripts should be between 8000 and 12000 words in length.
Tentative completion schedule:
- Abstract submission deadline: 15 April 2023
- Notification of abstract acceptance: 15 May 2023
- Full manuscript deadline: 31 January 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 editors ([email protected]) or to the Languages editorial office ([email protected]). Abstracts will be reviewed by the guest editors for the purposes of ensuring proper fit within the scope of the Special Issue. Full manuscripts will undergo double-blind peer-review.
