*CfP - Emotions and Corpora - Special Issue 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.
