[Dgkl] CfP: Yearbook of the German Cognitive Linguistics Association 2024

Fri Oct 13 09:28:16 UTC 2023

Dear all,

As subscribers to the DGKL/GCLA mailing list, most of you will be 
familiar with the "Yearbook of the German Cognitive Linguistics 
Association", published by de Gruyter. We are happy to share some new 
developments concerning the Yearbook. Firstly, there's a new editorial 
team: Antje Quick, Anatol Stefanowitsch and I will serve as 
editors-in-chief for the next few years. Secondly, we have decided - in 
close cooperation with the DGKL/GCLA board and the publisher - to make 
the Yearbook more journal-like: Until now, the Yearbooks have been 
edited volumes with different volume editors and varying topics. Every 
two years, the Yearbook used to serve as a kind of proceedings volume of 
the biennial DGKL/GCLA conference. In the years between the conferences, 
there used to be thematic volumes. For various reasons, we felt that in 
the current publishing landscape, it would make more sense to have an 
open call every year, and to have the full breadth of 
cognitive-linguistic research represented in every Yearbook. 
Participants of the DGKL/GCLA conferences (more info on the 2024 edition 
following soon!) are of course still cordially invited to submit to the 
Yearbook, but the calls will be open for everyone.

Despite the changes outlined above, the overall outlook of the Yearbook 
remains the same. As outlined on the DGKL/GCLA website, the Yearbook 
"does not aim to compete with journals like Cognitive Linguistics and 
Language and Cognition, but to complement them by offering researchers 
an outlet for their work at an early stage, while maintaining the same 
high standards of peer review that also characterize the journals." As 
such, the Yearbook is a good outlet for work by early career 
researchers, as well as for work-in-progress reports.

Please find below the Call for Papers for the 2024 Yearbook of the 
DGKL/GCLA. If you are interested in submitting a paper, it would be very 
helpful if you could send us an expression of interest until the end of 
the year so that we can get a rough estimate of how many people would 
like to contribute to the 2024 volume.

Best wishes,

Stefan

*We invite paper submissions for the Yearbook of the German Cognitive 
Linguistics Association (DGKL/GCLA). The Yearbook aims to enable the 
dynamic exchance of ideas relating to all aspects of Cognitive 
Linguistics both within the association and in the global Cognitive 
Linguistics community. *

The spectrum of topics covered by the Yearbook is as broad as Cognitive 
Linguistics itself. As such, the Yearbook of the DGKL/GCLA does not 
impose specific topical requirements on contributions, as it aims to 
document the full range of topics investigated by members of the 
Cognitive Linguistics community. This includes work not just in 
Cognitive Linguistics in a narrow sense, but also in closely related 
fields such as psycholinguistics, gesture research, and Cognitive 
Poetics. It also includes work by researchers in related frameworks that 
do not (yet?) consider themselves part of the Cognitive Linguistics 
research program, as long as there is a clear connection to the 
perspective adopted by the latter.

The Yearbook also does not impose specific methodological requirements, 
as it aims to document the full range of methods employed by researchers 
in the community. However, recent decades have seen a clear shift away 
from introspective approaches and towards a range of empirical methods, 
including standard experimental paradigms from psychology and 
psycholinguistics as well as a wealth of usage-based methods, ranging 
from the analysis of individual texts and conversations to quantitative 
corpus-linguistic methods applied to very large corpora. This is a 
highly desirable trend and we hope to see it represented strongly in the 
Yearbook of the German Cognitive Linguistics Association.

    The manuscript starts with a title, followed by an abstract of ca.
    100-300 words, followed by up to five keywords

  *

    The sections are numbered, starting with 1 (1, 1.1, 1.2, 1.2.1,
    1.2.2, ...).

  *

    References are given as in-text citations, e.g. (Lakoff 1987). The
    full bibliographical references are listed alphabetically at the end
    of the paper, following the Unified Style Sheet for Linguistics
