Call for papers for special issue: Neurocognitive Linguistics
We invite original research papers that explore aspects of language from a neurocognitive perspective or that examine details of the theory through experimental studies. We welcome theoretical, empirical, and comparative studies (in English and Spanish) that address topics such as the following:
- Relational treatment of typical and atypical linguistic phenomena.
- Analysis of atypical cases, often discarded by most linguistic theories: speech errors, lapsi linguae, unintended puns, “unintended” meanings.
- Experimental studies that evaluate the hypotheses of RNT.
- Relationship of RNT with other linguistic theories.
- Critical comments on aspects of RNT or extensions of the theory.
- Mother tongue or foreign language learning in terms of RNT.
- Epistemological analysis of RNT (empirical adequacy, developmental plausibility, operational plausibility, neurological plausibility, etc.).
- Analysis of linguistic structures in relational terms.
- Study of communication in relational terms.
Important dates:
- Deadline for submission of full papers: September 30, 2025.
- Publication date: December 2025.
