Emotions and Corpora - Special Issue of Language and Cognition 

Emotions and Corpora:
Behavioural evidence for conceptual structure 

Description:
A special issue of the journal Language and Cognition will bring together
studies that advance descriptive and explanatory research on the
conceptualisation of emotions expressed by spoken and signed languages. In an
interdisciplinary manner, drawing on recent methodological developments in
social psychology and usage-based linguistics, the authors will examine how
people from different languages and cultures understand their emotional
experiences. The research does not prescribe any specific theory, but makes
the assumption that behaviour, including language usage, represents a crucial
source of data for any qualitative or quantitative account of conceptual
structure. To these ends, the unifying methodological aspect of the special
issue will consist of empirically driven research using existing or
purpose-compiled corpora. 

Proposals:
We first ask for abstracts summersing proposed articles. These proposals will
be examined and their content judged with respect to thematic cohesion of the
Language and Cognition special issue. The studies should represent original
high-quality research. Although quantitative methods are not required, the
special issue will focus on empirical results and expect the highest standards
of methodological rigour. The term corpus here is intended sensu lato,
indicating any use of contextualised natural language production. Each
abstract should clearly state the research questions and hypotheses, explain
method and data, and present (expected) results and their implications. Both
descriptive and explanatory research is welcome. 

Dates:
- 31 December 2022: Deadline for authors to send in their abstracts.
- 15 January 2023: Authors of shortlisted abstracts will be notified.
- 31 May 2023: Deadline for authors to submit their papers. 

Language and Cognition have a policy of “continuous publication” of papers.
This means that papers are published as they become ready and we expect that
process to roll out over 2023. The special issue will be completed by the end
of the year and dated 2024.

Abstracts:
To send in your expression of interest, please send your abstract to
dsg.up8 at gmail.com and mfabisza at amu.edu.pl. 

- Max. 500 words  (including references, tables, and figures, if applicable)
- Anonymised
- Divided into sections (Introduction, Methods, Results, and Discussion)
- In a modifiable text format (.rtf, .doc, .odt etc.)

Rights and Fees:
Please note that there are no fees for non-Open Access publication of
manuscripts. For Open Access publication, the standard fee of £2,045 applies.
Authors that are based at institutions with a transitional agreement with CUP
will be eligible to have their original research and/or review articles
published as Open Access, with their fee being covered by their institution
automatically. The checker tool to confirm eligibility can be found here.

Open Data:
The journal Language and Cognition has an open data policy. Assuming there is
no ethical or propriety reason not to share the data examined in the study,
the journal expects these data to be made publicly available. Further
information can be found here. Please email us if you have further doubts or
queries.
