Call for Topic-focused Papers

Call for topic-focused papers of Gengo Kenkyu No.168


Gengo Kenkyu invites submissions of papers for a special issue on the theme “The Diversity of Linguistic Sounds in the World” (Number 168, expected publication date: July 2025).

Research methods in phonetics and phonology have made remarkable progress along with technological innovations. New research is constantly advancing through new laboratory techniques for observing speech sounds, analyzing large-scale data, excavating past speech data, and developing field linguistic tools. The accumulation and sharing of highly accurate observations and descriptions of several individual languages and language groups, including minority languages, which have been poorly described, has expanded remarkably in recent years. This trend enriches the foundation for exploring linguistic sound diversity and typological research.

The special papers in Issue No. 168 will contribute to phonological and phonetic typology. We welcome a wide variety of submissions, including discussions related to wide-range, areal, and intra-genetic typologies; developments from consideration of individual languages to typological examinations; new findings on rare features related to linguistic sound diversity; and presentation of findings on previously unknown phonetic and phonological features.

The deadline for submission of manuscripts is 31 August, 2024. All submissions will go through the usual peer-review process. When submitting a manuscript, please select “特集 special feature article” for the item “セクション/カテゴリー Section/Category” in the Editorial Manager online submission and reviewing system.




Call for topic-focused papers of Gengo Kenkyu No.166


Gengo Kenkyu invites submissions of papers for a special issue on the theme “Cognitive Linguistics: Where We Are and Where We are Going” (Number 166, expected publication date: July 2024).

Cognitive Linguistics emerged as a new paradigm of theoretical linguistics in the 1980s, having been productively applied to varied linguistic phenomena in different languages. During the first few decades, a succession of theoretical frameworks were proposed, including Cognitive Grammar, Construction Grammar, Frame Semantics, Conceptual Metaphor Theory, and Mental Spaces/Blending. Recently, however, radical theoretical innovations have been rare and Cognitive Linguistics appears to have reached a plateau. This Special Issue aims to consider possible new directions in Cognitive Linguistics, based on critical assessments of the state of the art of the discipline. We welcome submissions from cutting-edge approaches, including new interdisciplinary research and methodological innovations.

The deadline for submission of manuscripts is 31 August 2023. All submissions will go through the usual peer-review process. When submitting a manuscript, please select “特集 special feature article”
for the item “セクション/カテゴリー Section/Category” in the Editorial Manager on-line submission and reviewing system.
