CALL FOR PAPERS: Cognitive Approaches to Language

Volume 22 (2000) of the Nordic Journal of Linguistics will be a special
issue entitled "Cognitive Approaches to Language". It will be edited by
Urpo Nikanne.

In present-day linguistics, there are several theoretical schools of
thought each with the goal to establish a theory of language as part of
human cognition. The purpose of the special issue is to help communication
between these schools of thought by comparing the different approaches. -
Articles in which the relationship between cognitively oriented and other
approaches to language are discussed (e.g. socially oriented) would also be
interesting for the issue.

The authors are asked to send their contributions to Urpo Nikanne by 31
January 2000. (Address: Urpo Nikanne, University of Oslo, Department of
East European and Oriental Studies, P.O. Box 1030 Blindern, N-0315 Oslo,
Norway; email: urpo.nikanneeast.uio.no). According to the policy of the
NJL, the articles will be reviewed and screened.
