About the Journal

Who are we?
Questions and Answers in Linguistics (QAL) is a free online peer-reviewed
journal published by Center for General and Comparative Linguistics at the
University of Wrocław, Poland. QAL presents papers focused on especially
problematic areas of linguistic research, based on data from diverse
languages. As far as theoretical analyses are concerned, we are primarily
interested in works within the generative paradigm, although papers using
different theoretical approaches will also be considered. We express an
interest in interdisciplinary research employing methods from typology,
historical studies, corpus studies and experimental psycho- or
neurolinguistics providing an empirical background to purely theoretical
research.

Who can publish?
We accept submissions from professional researchers as well as graduate
students.

What can be published?
We are looking for original research papers (presenting formal analyses,
fieldwork, corpus research or experiment results) and reviews of current
literature. The article must be written in English, it should not be published
or simultaneously submitted elsewhere and it should not exceed 30 pages in
length.

Submission
Authors interested in publication should send their manuscripts as well as any
questions at:
piotr.gulgowski at gmail.com

Manuscripts should be sent in two formats: a doc file and a pdf file.
Submitted papers should follow the style guide available from:
http://www.ifa.uni.wroc.pl/linguistics/qal_guidelines.html

Each paper selected for publication will be evaluated by at least two
reviewers, following the double-blind review policy. For this reason, the
manuscript should contain no obvious information that could be used to
identify the author (especially in the case of self references). Please
provide your personal data (name, contact address, academic institution) in
the submission e-mail.

Issue Topic

Topic: Adverbials
Traditionally distinguished as (mostly) optional elements modifying the
meaning of the 'core' sentence (verb with arguments), adverbs and adverbials
proved to be particularly challenging for grammatical theories because of
their unclear categorial nature, variable positions (sometimes with different
interpretations), strict relative ordering or associated scope effects.

There is an ongoing debate between two major approaches to adverbial
constructions: the adjunct view (cf. Ernst 2002; Haider 2000) and the
specifier view (cf. Cinque 1999, 2004; Alexiadou 1997). A separate, though
related issue, concerns the category of lexical items traditionally identified
as adverbs, which can be closely morphologically related to words from various
syntactic classes (often adjectives, but also nouns or prepositions).

We invite papers addressing problems of the proper analysis of adverbs and
adverbial constructions, including, but not limited to:
- specifier / adjunct controversy
- status of adverbs as a separate lexical category
- relative ordering and scope of adverbials
- adverbial classes
- cross-linguistic differences in adverbial form and meaning
- processing of adverbials
- acquisition of adverbials
