Call for Papers:

CALL FOR PAPERS FOR A THEMATIC ISSUE IN LINGVISTICÆ INVESTIGATIONES
Similatives: semantic sources, pathways, and types of usage

In this volume, we are especially interested in new markers that have
undergone grammaticalization or other ‘ ization’ processes to explore
the function of similatives, their sources (semantic, structural), and
their development paths. We also welcome papers that adopt synchronic
perspective and present the scope of present-day usage of similatives,
differentiate them from existing homographs, or contrast similatives
from various languages.

The questions addressed in the volume include but are not limited to:
 - Which criteria can be used to distinguish various types of
similarity (similarity of quality, degree or manner; intensional and
extensional similarity)?
 - What are the semantic sources of similarity markers?
 - What are the mechanisms and motivation behind the change that
results in the rise of a similarity marker?
 - In what way constructions’ morphosyntactic properties (e.g. the
prepositional phrase) are conducive to this process?
 - Is similarity purely perceptually based in a natural language?
 - What is the role of similatives in categorization?
 - What is the scope of usage of particular similatives?
 - Are there further paths of grammaticalization to which markers of
similarity of quality are susceptible?
 - Are these paths similar across languages?
 - What role does language contact play in the formation of
similatives?

Practical details:
 - Lay-out & guidelines for the submissions: please follow the
conventions and the template from https://benjamins.com/catalog/li,
section 'Guidelines'.
 - Indicative length: 20 pages once styled as indicated in the style
sheet.
 - The papers must be written in English.
 - The manuscripts will undergo a double-blind peer review process.
