New Journal: Linguistic Approaches to Bilingualism

[Ludovica Serratrice]

John Benjamins Publishing is please to announce a new journal to be  
published in 2011: Linguistic Approaches to Bilingualism (LAB)

Over the past few decades there has been a sharp increase in the  
scientific precision and complexity of the linguistic study of  
bilingualism. This journal will contribute to this general program,  
assuming a broad definition of bilingualism including:

adult L2 acquisition
simultaneous child bilingualism
child L2 acquisition
adult heritage speaker competence
L1 attrition in L2/Ln environments
adult L3/Ln acquisition.

Linguistic Approaches to Bilingualism will provide an outlet for  
cutting-edge, contemporary studies on bilingualism, exclusively from  
formal linguistic and cognitive science approaches. The journal will  
solicit high-quality articles of original research assuming any  
cognitive science approach to understanding the mental representation  
of bilingual language competence and performance, including cognitive  
linguistic theories, emergentism/connectionism, generative theories,  
psycholinguistic and processing accounts, and covering typical and  
atypical populations (e.g., SLI and other linguistic disorders). Four  
types of articles will appear in LAB.

General Research articles: 8,000-10,000 word articles that present  
original empirical research pertinent to the study of  
cognitive-linguistic bilingualism.

<http://www.benjamins.com/jbp/series/LAB/guidelines.pdf> .

Squibs and Research Reports: These articles should not exceed 5,000  
words and should present research on ongoing theoretical projects or  
subsets of data sets making significant contributions that are time  
sensitive.

Epistemological Topics: these articles on topics of general  
epistemological interest in the sub-disciplines that contribute  
research to the journal will be between 8,000 and 12,000 words and  
will be by invitation only.

Spotlight issue: Annually, one Spotlight issue will be published  
focusing on research of one particular language, language family or a  
cohort of articles addressing the same theoretical questions within  
the remit of the journal.  Proposals to guest edit this issue should  
be no longer than 3 pages and sent to the editors

Please address inquiries to the general editors, Jason Rothman or
