Full Title: Journal of Language Evolution 


Linguistic Field(s): Cognitive Science; Phonetics; Phonology 

Call Deadline: 31-Jul-2016 

The Journal of Language Evolution is hosting a special issue on the emergence
of phonetics and phonology. The call for papers can be found here:
http://jole.oxfordjournals.org/content/call-papers-emergence-phonetics-and-pho
nology

In recent years, there has been a resurgence in research in the evolution of
language and speech. This special issue will focus on recent work addressing
the evolution of speech apparatus, and the emergence of phonetic and
phonological structure. The focus will be on the interaction between
biological and cultural evolution, and the interaction between the cognitive
evolution of language, and the biological evolution of speech. We are
interested in submissions that consider how the physical aspects of a
linguistic modality might shape our language, and how our phonetic
capabilities at the speech level may influence our phonology at the language
level.

The primary goal of the special issue is to exchange the latest advances in
the study of the evolution of speech. We are interested in computational and
mathematical modeling, experimental studies, brain and vocal tract imaging,
corpus analysis and comparative data from animal studies, especially nonhuman
primates. These techniques have allowed us to address questions relevant to
the evolution of our phonetic capabilities, and the special issue will aim to
open an interdisciplinary discourse.

Submissions must provide relevant empirical insight within the remit of this
special issue.

The deadline for papers was 17th April 2016 and is now being extended to 31st
July 2016.

However, if you plan to submit to the special issue please email Hannah Little
(hannah at ai.vub.ac.be), if possible by the original deadline (17th April 2016).

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Indiana University and 
as such can receive donations through the eLinguistics Foundation, 
which is a registered 501(c) Non Profit organization. Our Federal 
Tax number is 45-4211155. These donations can be offset against 
your federal and sometimes your state tax return (U.S. tax payers only).

Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that 
they will match any gift you make to a non-profit organization. 
Normally this entails your contacting your human resources department 
and sending us a form that the eLinguistics Foundation fills in and 
returns to your employer. This is generally a simple administrative 
procedure that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without 
costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if 
your company operates such a program.

Thank you very much for your support of LINGUIST!
