Dear Colleagues,

The journal Languages (ISSN 2226-471X) invites contributions to the Special
Issue entitled ''Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Code-Switching''
(https://goo.gl/stT1CT), whose Guest Editors are Mr. Draško Kašćelan
(Department of Theoretical and Applied Linguistics, University of Cambridge)
and Prof. Margaret Deuchar (Department of Theoretical and Applied Linguistics,
University of Cambridge). 

Languages is an international, open access scholarly journal whose central
concern is the promotion of understanding of the diverse aspects of the
world's languages. There are no article processing charges for manuscripts
submitted in 2017 and in 2018. 

The impetus for this Special Issue arises from a recent workshop held at
Cambridge entitled 'Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Code-Switching' (see
http://www.languagesciences.cam.ac.uk/code-switching-1). Research on
code-switching was the province of specialists in linguistics alone in the
latter part of the twentieth century, and is still a valuable source of
insights into the human language faculty. However, it has relatively recently
attracted the attention of researchers in psycholinguistics and neuroscience
because of its promise to throw light not only on how the brain manages two or
more potentially competing languages, but also on how the brain itself may
adapt to the demands of this process.

The goal of this Special Issue will be to introduce researchers to this
rapidly developing field and to showcase work by those at the cutting edge of
interdisciplinary research. An overview of code-switching research in
linguistics will be followed by a psychological perspective on language
control relating to different types of code-switching. Other papers will focus
on the effects of code-switching at specific language levels, such as
phonetics and morphology, and in both adults and children. A range of methods
will be represented, including the use of naturalistic, experimental and
neuroscientific data, and will be both qualitative and quantitative. A wide
range of language combinations and type of speaker is envisaged.

We invite the submission of papers both from participants who attended the
Cambridge workshop and those who did not. We would particularly welcome papers
which use neuroscientific data to investigate code-switching and/or make use
of the interdisciplinary perspectives outlined above.
