Call for Papers: 

The topic of the latest issue of ''Linguistica Lettica'' is “Give a word”

''Linguistica Lettica'' invites authors from a variety of disciplines to
submit papers on the semantic potential of the phrase by
disciplinary/interdisciplinary discussion of one of the issues below or by
proposing another topic relevant to the thematic scope of the journal.

- How to linguistically analyze different types of promises (e.g., marriage
promises, oaths, advertisements, and political commitments) in interpersonal,
intergroup, mass, and virtual media communication, literature, theater, music,
and cinema? What do the results of such research reveal about language
functions, certain eras, people’s values, habits, and communication?

- Who (e.g., field experts, passers-by, organizations, companies, media, and
social groups) is most often given a name in Latvian public communication —
namely, an opportunity to express their opinion on an issue of individual or
social importance? How is this opportunity utilized? On the other hand, whose
opinions are not listened to, silenced, or censored in certain areas of life
(e.g., politics, education, culture, economics, and media)? Which means of
communication and language are used to give or take the floor? What are the
linguistic causes of wide discussion/disagreement in society?

- How is the global development of IT, economy, and science (e.g., new
technological solutions, products, companies, and newly discovered species)
reflected in names, and how are such developments influencing Latvian naming
traditions? What strategies, techniques, and linguistic and semiotic tools are
most used? How are they related to language and cultural processes in Latvia,
the Baltic States, and the world? What do the different names reveal about
people’s individual/collective identities, knowledge, habits, and attitudes?
Why is something being renamed? What psychological, linguistic, economic, and
political factors influence renaming? How does the renaming process occur?
What is the effect of renaming on the perception of the named
things/processes/places in the short or long term? How is the phenomenon of
renaming studied in linguistics, and what has not yet been sufficiently
discussed?
