Aims and scope of LIA

LIA is a bilingual English-French journal that publishes original
theoretical and empirical research of high scientific quality at the
forefront of current debates concerning language acquisition. It covers
all facets of language acquisition among different types of learners and
in diverse learning situations, with particular attention to oral language
and/or to signed languages. Topics include the acquisition of one or more
foreign languages, of one or more first languages, and of sign languages,
as well as learners’ use of gestures during speech; the relationship
between language and cognition during acquisition; bilingualism and
situations of language contact, for example pidginisation and
creolisation. It also welcomes contributions about language impairments,
however with emphasis on oral language. LIA offers a unique space to cover
all of these topics and their interrelations in an interdisciplinary
perspective (linguistics, psycholinguistics, sociolinguistics).

The bilingual nature of LIA aims at reaching a readership in a wide
international community, while simultaneously continuing to attract
intellectual and linguistic resources stemming from multiple scientific
traditions in Europe, thereby remaining faithful to its original French
anchoring. LIA is the direct descendant of the French-speaking journal
AILE.  It first appeared in 2009 under the transition name AILE...LIA and
is published by John Benjamins since 2010.

LIA appears twice a year. From 2012 on, it publishes not only special
issues around particular topics, but also independent articles in non
thematic issues. Articles must be written in French or in English and must
provide abstracts in both languages. All articles are evaluated by at
least two reviewers in a two-way blind procedure.

Until the end of 2014, 50 copies of each issue of LIA are available at
promotional prices (15€; 10€ for students). Orders should be sent to the
following address: lia at sfl.cnrs.fr.
