Call for Papers:

Lexis – Journal in English Lexicology – will publish its 1st special
issue of the “Words about…” series in 2025. It will be co-edited by
Frank Arnould (Inist – CNRS), Stéphanie Béligon (Université Savoie
Mont Blanc, France) and Céline Souchay (Université de Grenoble Alpes,
LPNC UMR 5105, France) and will deal with the topic “Words about
Memory”.
Words about Memory

The 1st issue of the “Words about...” series hosted by Lexis – Journal
in English Lexicology will focus on “Words about Memory”.

Memory, defined by the OED as “[t]he faculty by which things are
remembered; the capacity for retaining, perpetuating, or reviving the
thought of things past”, is a key topic in the development and
functioning of contemporary societies, whether in the form of the duty
of remembrance, computer memory or memory disorders affecting an
ageing population. Memory is addressed by many disciplines, each with
its own objectives and characteristics, so that it may seem pointless
to speak of memory as a single entity: clearly, memory has multiple
facets, which this issue of Lexis sets out to explore. The journal
specializes in lexical questions and will contribute to the study of
memory by clarifying the uses of this polysemous and polyphonic word.

The issue will be interdisciplinary and will welcome articles in
linguistics but more broadly in all the human and social sciences, as
well as bioscience or physics, provided that lexical and/or
terminological issues are at the core of the papers.
In linguistics, contributions may deal with the etymology and the
diachronic evolution of terms referring to memory, recollection and
amnesia. The metaphors relating to memory – whether lexicalized
(“refreshing someone’s memory”, “losing one’s memory”, “jogging
someone’s memory”, etc.) or not – could also be investigated. Analyses
may focus on English or French, but also on other languages,
particularly from a contrastive perspective with English.

Contributions may cover a range of fields, including lexical
semantics. The use of corpora can shed light on analyses and open up
other perspectives, including the possibility of dealing with an
event, a historical period or a vital episode (such as childbirth,
life story, etc.).

Moreover, the standardization of terminology and the classification of
terms in specialized languages are important steps for any scientific
progress. Memory sciences should be no exception. This raises the
question of the possibility of forging a lingua franca for memory
providing researchers with a common language which would, for
instance, prescribe the preferred terms used to lexicalize memory
concepts. Its purpose would be to facilitate communication within one
scientific discipline, but also between various disciplines concerned
with the same object of study. This issue of Lexis will therefore
welcome articles on the construction of controlled vocabularies – such
as thesauri and ontologies – about memory and associated notions, or
on the formalization of concept lexicalization. Other topics, such as
the management of synonymy and polysemy within these repositories, as
well as equivalences between languages in the case of multilingual
terminology resources or between repositories (alignments), may also
be addressed. How can semantic web and automatic language processing
tools (e.g. terminology extraction and relation extraction) help to
detect memory terms in specialized corpora, formalize their meanings
and relations, and standardize their lexicalization? What are these
repositories used for?
