Subject: FYI: New Journal: Evolutionary Linguistic Theory

 
John Benjamins is pleased to announce a new journal for 2019: Evolutionary
Linguistic Theory, edited by Ermenegildo Bidese (University of Trento) and
Anne Reboul (Institute for Cognitive Sciences-Marc Jeannerod, CNRS UMR 5304).

Evolutionary Linguistic Theory (ELT) is an international peer-reviewed journal
intended as a platform for discussing the question of the origin and
development of the language faculty understood as a specifically dedicated
part of the human mind/brain and its connection with the human cognition. The
specificity of the journal is to contribute to the ongoing debate on language
origin from an explicitly linguistic viewpoint which examines its complex
subject from a well-grounded knowledge in theoretical linguistics (with its
subsystems, psycholinguistics, neurolinguistics, language acquisition and
language change, historical linguistics and philosophy of language), and
reaching out into the contiguous scientific disciplines, as psychology,
philosophy and cognitive neuroscience.

In the following we give a not exhaustive list of matters ELT is concerned
with:

- The design of the language faculty
- The role of the lexicon in the architecture of the language faculty
- The role of categorization and features for the origin of language
- The question of protolanguage
- Language and thought
- Language, music and action from an evolutionary perspective
- Language and other cognitive domains like vision and spatiality from an
evolutionary perspective
- The connection between the internal reality molded by language and the
external world
- Language and the origin of consciousness and subjectness
- Language and shared intentionality
- Historical perspectives on the question about the origin of language
