Call for Papers:

We are pleased to announce a Special Issue of Languages titled “Facets
of Greek Language”. Investigating the various aspects of the Greek
language deepens our understanding of its structure, rules, and
patterns and allows us to explore the unique features of Greek
grammar, syntax, phonology, morphology, and semantics.

Typical Language Development: The exploration of Greek language
development in typically developing individuals enables the
exploration of customary milestones, trajectories, and patterns of
language acquisition from early childhood to adolescence and
adulthood. Through the study of linguistic abilities, vocabulary
growth, grammatical development, and pragmatic skills in individuals
with typical language development, a baseline can be established for
comparison with those who experience language difficulties.

Atypical Language Development: The examination of the Greek language
in individuals with atypical language development, such as
developmental speech and language disorders (SSDs, Developmental
Language Disorder; specific language impairment), autism spectrum
disorders, or hearing impairments, yields valuable insights into the
nature of language difficulties and the underlying cognitive and
neurological mechanisms. Investigating the linguistic profiles,
language processing deficits, and specific challenges encountered by
these populations can assist with the identification, assessment, and
intervention strategies for individuals with language disorders.

Acquired Language Disorders: The exploration of the Greek language in
individuals with acquired language disorders, such as aphasia
following stroke or traumatic brain injury, aids in understanding the
nature of language deficits resulting from neurological damage.
Studying the linguistic impairments, language comprehension
difficulties, and expressive language deficits in individuals with
acquired language disorders can contribute to the development of
effective rehabilitation approaches and communication strategies.

Clinical Aspects: The investigation of the clinical aspects of the
Greek language involves the examination of assessment, diagnosis, and
intervention practices for individuals with language disorders. By
studying the effectiveness of different assessment tools, diagnostic
criteria, and therapeutic interventions in the Greek language context,
contributions can be made to evidence-based clinical practice,
optimizing outcomes for individuals receiving language intervention.

Multilingualism: Greek is spoken by Greek communities worldwide.
Studying the facets of the Greek language contributes to our
understanding of multilingualism, language contact, and language
variation, providing insights into language acquisition, maintenance,
language shift, and the dynamics of bilingual or multilingual language
use.

We request that, prior to submitting a manuscript, interested authors
initially submit a proposed title and an abstract of 400 words
summarizing their intended contribution. The proposal should be
submitted via email to the guest editors (egeronikou at upatras.gr, and
elena.babatsouli at louisiana.edu). Abstracts will be reviewed by the
guest editors for the purposes of ensuring proper fit within the scope
of the Special Issue. Submissions should be anonymous and follow the
guidelines for authors. Upon acceptance of a paper proposal,
guidelines for preparing final papers will be provided. Full
manuscripts will undergo double-blind peer-review.

Tentative completion schedule：

Abstract submission deadline: November 10, 2023

Notification of abstract acceptance: December 10, 2023

Full manuscript deadline: May 10, 2024
