Recent events and publications document the
increasing interest in (Post-)Colonial Language
Studies (PCL) and prove that there is an urgent
need for further research within this
interdisciplinary field of study. Because of
the wide range of research perspectives
involved in PCL, there is a rich potential in
the investigation of specific sub-fields within
Colonial and Postcolonial Linguistics.
Therefore, we would like to take a detailed
look on the intersection of (Post-)Colonial
Language Studies and Linguistic Typology. To
this end, we are planning an issue of STUF -
Language Typology and Universals. This journal
is issued quarterly at Mouton de Gruyter by
editor-in chief Thomas Stolz.
The issue will be titled
'Introducing Colonial and Postcolonial
Linguistics from a typological perspective'
and we would like to invite you to contribute
to the planned publication.
Research of language in colonial and
postcolonial contexts has been carried out from
a variety of viewpoints within and beyond the
field of linguistics. The aim of this issue is
to approach it from the perspective of Language
Typology and Universals and to present this
approach to an international audience.
The planned issue will bundle empirical or
theoretical studies, including comparative or
contrastive studies on language(s), as well as
papers on the history of the field of Language
Typology and Universals - each taking into
account the (post-)colonial specifics of their
subject-matter.
We would be happy to receive a contribution
proposal from you. If you would like to
contribute an article, please send an abstract
of about 350 words by June 30, 2014, to
culcc
uni-bremen.de.
We will let you know by July 30, 2014, whether
your proposal has been accepted for publication
in the issue. In case of acceptance, the
deadline for paper submission is November 28,
2014.
All papers will be peer-reviewed in a
double-blind procedure. Specifics concerning
article length (most likely 15-20 pages),
style-sheet etc. will be communicated following
abstract review.
We are looking forward to your
contribution.
