The biolinguistic conception of language has always had two (interrelated)
ways to approach and address the scientific study of the psychological
capacity for language.

Once that psychological capability is assumed to be part of human cognition,
other related questions need to be addressed for clarification. For example:

- How is the ontogeny of such human cognitive capacity? How does it diverge in
pathological conditions?
- How an individual can become multilingual and which are the profound
differences (if any) between bi/multilinguals and monolinguals.
- Which are the molecular structures related to the ontogeny of such capacity?
- Which has been the evolutionary path of both cerebral and structures devoted
to phonation?
- Which has been the evolutionary path followed by our species, and at which
point our ancestors departed from other species?
- Which tools can help us to enhance the research on language?
- Which concepts need disambiguation of clarification?

In the past century, a few researchers, like Eric Lenneberg, made the
necessary first steps towards these questions. Nowadays, we count on more
people committed with the biolinguistic conception of language, on new and
more precise tools, able to contribute with information that can shed new
light on these questions, and able as well to make us think and reconsider
what we (seem to) know about language.

The past June 2019, the Workshop on biolinguistics was hold within the context
of the sixth edition of the Experimental Psycholinguistics Conference, where
researchers took the opportunity for bringing their ideas together and sharing
their advances on the field. It is for this reasons that we would like to
gather different proposals, impressions, methodologies and data, in a new
issue that serves as a forum for those scientists interested in
biolinguistics.

Researchers may submit original papers on experimental work,
conceptual/theoretical treatments, opinion pieces (for example, as forum
contributions), or briefs that are directly related to biolinguistics (either
in a broad sense or in a narrow sense).

Manuscripts should be submitted directly via the Biolinguistics web site
(http://biolinguistics.eu/). When submitting a manuscript please indicate that
it is intended for this special issue in the field ''comments to the editor''
during the submission process. All submissions will be subjected to
double-blind peer review. Forum contributions might only be reviewed by the
editor or a member of the Editorial Board. Note that manuscripts may be
submitted any time (starting now).

Submission deadline for abstracts: December 31 2019
Submission deadline for papers: April 30 2020
Targeted publication date of special issue: September 2020

Biolinguistics is a peer-reviewed journal exploring theoretical linguistics
that takes the biological foundations of human language seriously. The
Advisory Board and the Editorial Board are made up of leading scholars from
all continents in the fields of theoretical linguistics, language acquisition,
language change, theoretical biology, genetics, philosophy of mind, and
cognitive psychology. We are proud to be what is called a ''platinum''
open-access journal.
Publication of this special issue is being organised by Lluís Barceló-Coblijn
(Universitat de les Illes Balears, Spain). To indicate your interest in
participating, submit an abstract (max. 800 words, including references), or
in case you have any questions, please e-mail to: lluis.barcelo at uib.cat
