Announcement for LIA - A Journal on Language Acquisition

[edy veneziano]

We are pleased to announce that LIA, a new Journal on Language acquisition (see below), can publish, as of this month, both special issues and independent papers in non-thematic issues.


                     LIA
Language, Interaction & Acquisition
Langage, Interaction & Acquisition 
New journal on language acquisition

Aims and scope of LIA
LIA is a bilingual English-French journal that publishes original theoretical and empirical research of high scientific quality at the forefront of current debates concerning language acquisition. It covers all facets of language acquisition among different types of learners and in diverse learning situations, with particular attention to oral language and/or to signed languages. Topics include the acquisition of one or more foreign languages, of one or more first languages, and of sign languages, as well as learners’ use of gestures during speech; the relationship between language and cognition during acquisition; bilingualism and situations of language contact, for example pidginisation and creolisation. It also welcomes contributions about language impairments, however with emphasis on oral language. LIA offers a unique space to cover all of these topics and their interrelations in an interdisciplinary perspective(linguistics, psycholinguistics, sociolinguistics).

The bilingual nature of LIA aims at reaching a readership in a wide international community,while simultaneously continuing to attract intellectual and linguistic resources stemming from multiple scientific traditions in Europe, thereby remaining faithful to its original French anchoring. LIA is the direct descendant of the French-speaking journal AILE. It first appeared in 2009 under the transition name AILE...LIA and is published by John Benjamins since 2010.

Articles must be written in French or in English and must provide abstracts in both languages. All articles are evaluated by at least two reviewers in a two-way blind procedure.

Until the end of 2014, 50 copies of each issue of LIA are available at promotional prices (15€;10€ for students). Orders should be sent to the following address: lia at sfl.cnrs.fr.
