Dear ALT, 
I would like to post a "Journal Call for Papers" for Asian Languages and Linguistics published by John Benjamin. 
Details are as follows: 

Journal Call for Papers

ASIAN LANGUAGES AND LINGUISTICS (ALaL) is an international journal, published by John Benjamins Publishing Company with sponsorship from the Institute of Advanced Studies in Humanities and Social Sciences, Beijing Normal University. 

 

ALaL is a peer reviewed forum for high-quality linguistic research on languages spoken throughout Asia: the Sino-Tibetan, Austronesian, Austroasiatic, Dravidian, Altaic, Uralic, Turkic, Caucasian, Afro-Asiatic, Indo-European, Unclassified languages/language isolates, etc. Localized European Languages (Indian English, Singapore English, etc.), and Pidgins and Creoles spoken in Asia (Naga Pidgin Assamese, Asian Portuguese creoles, etc.) are also in the scope of our journal.

 

The journal encourages submissions from a wide range of topics, including but not limited to the following:

 

• Theoretical research on the syntax, semantics, phonology, morphology, and pragmatics of any Asian language, and the interface studies such as syntax-semantics interface and morphology-phonology interface. 

• Typological research based on empirical data or theoretical analysis (following any framework) on the structural diversities and cross-linguistic variations among Asian languages or between Asian languages and other languages. 

• Diachronic research based on a careful investigation of Asian languages data that contribute to the theory or methodology of historical linguistics, as well as interdisciplinary study which links historical linguistics to corpus-based research, language variation, typology, etc. 

• Cross-disciplinary research between linguistics and philosophy, psychology, language processing, etc. that contributes to the understanding of Asian languages.

 

Contributions from a comparative or typological perspective are especially welcome. We also welcome cross-disciplinary studies, such as the results of cross-linguistic research using the methods of psycholinguistics or neurolinguistics.

 

The editorial board members are all renowned experts in the field of Asian language studies, including:
