Dear Colleagues,

The journal Languages (http://www.mdpi.com/journal/languages), with Dr. Usha
Lakshmanan as Editor-in-Chief, invites contributions to the Special Issue
entitled ''Clausal and Nominal Complements in Monolingual and Bilingual
Grammars'' co-guest-edited by Dr. Ji Young Shim
(https://www.unige.ch/lettres/angle/en/collaborateurs/linguistics/jiyoungshim/
), from the Department of Linguistics, University of Geneva, Dr. Tabea Ihsane
(https://www.unige.ch/lettres/angle/en/collaborateurs/linguistics/ihsane/)
from the Department of English, University of Geneva and by Dr. Maria del
Carmen Parafita Couto
(https://www.universiteitleiden.nl/en/staffmembers/maria-del-carmen-parafita-c
outo), from the Center for Linguistics, Leiden University.

Within generative grammar, it has long been assumed that language variation is
due to variation in the domain of functional categories and their
morpho-syntactic properties. For monolingual grammars, the left periphery of a
clause has been extensively investigated, confirming the hypothesis that the
functional category C(omplementizer) and its morpho-syntactic properties may
be parameterized differently across languages. Assuming that clauses and
nominal phrases have parallel structures, the left periphery of a nominal
phrase has also been investigated to a great extent within research on
monolingual grammars.

We invite papers, either theory-oriented or empirically based, which further
explore clausal and nominal complements in monolingual and bilingual grammars
and show how languages are encoded similarly or differently in a given domain,
the very topic that generative linguistics have pursued for a long time. We
welcome contributions from participants at the recently held workshop Clausal
and Nominal Complements in Monolingual and Bilingual Grammars, as well as
other scholars who have worked in this area.

Languages (ISSN 2226-471X) is an international, open access scholarly journal
whose central concern is the promotion of understanding of the diverse aspects
of the world's languages along three dimensions: languages in space (including
geopolitical, sociological, psychological, neurobiological and educational
perspectives), languages in time (including evolutionary, real-time
processing, acquisitional and life-span developmental perspectives), languages
in Interaction (including perspectives from research on translation, language
mixing, cross-language and cross-modal influences and cross-cultural
communication). For further information about the journal Languages, see
http://www.mdpi.com/journal/languages/about.
