Subject: Call for LLA 2022 Special Issue Proposals on African Languages and Linguistics

 
LLA: Linguistique et langues africaines
Double-blind peer-reviewed open access journal on African languages and
linguistics

Linguistique et langues africaines (LLA:
https://llacan.cnrs.fr/lla/index2.html) invites proposals for a 2022 special
issue (theme issue) reflecting high-quality research on any Africa-related
linguistic topic covered by the journal.

LLA provides a forum for linguists working on the phonology, morphology,
syntax, pragmatics and semantics of African languages. The main purpose of LLA
is to enlarge our knowledge and understanding of the enormous linguistic
diversity in Africa, much of which is still sparsely documented. Contributions
to LLA are expected to be data-driven (e.g. primary data from fieldwork or
other corpus data), and the discussion of theoretical issues is appreciated to
the extent that it helps to elucidate the data and remains accessible to
persons that are not specialists in the relevant theory. All major theoretical
frameworks are equally welcome. We are also interested in
historical-comparative, areal linguistic and ethnolinguistic contributions.

Proposals should contain (i) a description of the research topic and the
research questions to be addressed; (ii) a list of prospective contributors +
titles of papers + abstracts (max. 500 words); (iii) a short account of how
the proposed contributions address the research questions; (iv) a proposed
time line.  

Please send proposals in a single pdf file to llafrique at cnrs.fr by 15
September 2021. 
Proposals will be assessed by members of the editorial board and by (selected)
members of the scientific advisory committee.
Selection of the special issue can be expected by 15 October 2021.

Further details:
- Contributions can be written in English or French (other languages upon
request).
- Maximum length of a special issue: 380,000 characters including spaces (=
175 pages in the format of our journal).
- The special issue should comprise an introduction by the guest-editor(s).
- Guest-editor(s) can be (co-)author(s) of one article.
- Contributions to special issues will be subject to the same reviewing
procedure as regular submissions, that is double blind peer-review by two
reviewers external to the issue (organized by the guest editors, except for
their own contribution).
- Publication of the issue planned as 8(2) in the last quarter of 2022.

More information about the journal is available on our webpage:
