Call for Papers:

A Special Issue of the journal ‘Languages’ is being co-edited by Keith
Allan and Andrea Pizarro Pedraza
(see https://www.mdpi.com/journal/languages/special_issues/3X5E334K23.
)

The scope of this Special Issue, ‘New Studies in the Language of
Taboos’,
will be as wide as possible. Since there have recently been
considerable
advances in the literature on linguistic taboo, we encourage the
presentation of empirical studies that prove or refute established
theories about linguistic taboo or about any aspect of language, and
that bring new light into theoretical or applied linguistics. We
invite
you to contribute to a special issue of ‘Languages’ dedicated to
presenting the latest trends in studies of the language used in
speaking
and writing of topics that are customarily tabooed or in the very
least
controversial in many contexts of discourse. “Taboo” refers to a
proscription of behaviour for a specifiable community of one or more
persons at a specifiable time in specifiable contexts. For behaviour
to
be proscribed it must be perceived as in some way harmful to an
individual or their community; but the degree of harm can fall
anywhere
on a scale from a breach of etiquette to out-and-out fatality. All
tabooed behaviours are deprecated and they lead to social if not legal
sanction. Shared taboos are a sign of social cohesion. Violation of
taboos can often be cathartic to the perpetrator and to others who
empathize.

We urge you to submit a title identifying the topic of your choice
and before April 21, 2023 to submit a draft abstract of 400-600 words
(both to be tweaked once the paper has been written). Please submit
the
proposal to one or both of the guest editors to ensure its suitability
for special issue. If accepted by the guest editors, formatting
conditions will be advised, and a full manuscript should be submitted
either to the editors or to languages at mdpi.com. The manuscript
deadline
will be November 20, 2023. Full manuscripts will undergo double-blind
peer-review.

Please look at
https://www.mdpi.com/journal/languages/special_issues/3X5E334K23. You
will see there: “The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication
in
this open access journal is 1400 CHF (Swiss Francs)”. Please don’t opt
out for that reason because the co-editors have been assured that if a
contributor is unable to fund this fee through a research grant or
their
university, the publication fee will most likely be waived.

We hope you will look favourably upon this invitation and respond
positively.
