Call for Papers:

We are delighted to announce the call for a special issue in Languages
themed "Language Use, Processing and Acquisition in Multilingual
Contexts". Please consider submitting if you are working on individual
variation in multilinguals.

Many studies have investigated the relationships between being
mono-/bi-/multilingual and associated linguistic and language-related
processing outcomes. However, much less is known about the influence
of the diversity of languages in a society on these outcomes. That is,
one does not necessarily need to speak multiple languages themselves
to be influenced by their societal presence (Bice & Kroll, 2019; Fan
et al., 2015; Tsimpli et al., 2020; Vogelzang et al., 2022;
Wigdorowitz et al., 2020, 2022). In this view, a multilingual context
is any context in which multiple languages are used in the
environment—this is sometimes referred to as contextual linguistic
diversity (Wigdorowitz et al., 2020, 2022; Wigdorowitz, under review).
Many societies have high linguistic diversity, with different
languages being spoken in different regions within the country, or
even within the same region, based on historical development,
migration, and globalization. In addition, there is increasing support
for the idea that mono-/bi-/multilingualism are not merely 'states' or
categorical experiences, but that there also exists great individual
differences in language use and exposure within these groups (Caloi &
Torregrossa, 2021; Castro et al., 2022; Kašćelan et al., 2022; Luk &
Bialystok, 2013; Surrain & Luk, 2019; Torregrossa et al., 2021).

Accordingly, the central question of this Special Issue is to what
extent language use and/or patterns of language exposure in
multilingual contexts affect language acquisition, language
processing, or other cognitive processes. We aim to bring together
contributions dealing with this question from linguistic,
sociolinguistic, psycholinguistic, and language acquisition
perspectives. Works may proceed both by focusing on group behavior or
on within-group heterogeneity. We call for studies investigating any
languages or contexts, including non-Western contexts in the Global
South and underrepresented populations (e.g., low socioeconomic
contexts, minority language speakers). Both quantitative and
qualitative methods will be considered.

Completion schedule:
Abstract submission deadline: 15 May 2023
Notification of abstract acceptance: 1 June 2023
Full manuscript deadline: 15 November 2023
