Linguistic Field(s): Cognitive Science; Computational Linguistics; Language Acquisition; Neurolinguistics; Psycholinguistics

Call Deadline: 20-Dec-2015

We would like to invite you to contribute a Paper on our Research Topic of Language and Cognition, in the ''Frontiers in Robotics and AI'' journal.

''Frontiers'' is a novel venue created by EPFL in Switzerland, which is home to a number of top-notch, open access, innovative journals.

The focus of the special issue is on Language between embodied agents (humans, animals, robots etc.) and in particular the interaction of Language with other modules of Cognition, including Perception, the Motor System, Reasoning abilities, and Learning Mechanisms. By ''Language'' we refer to its wider sense, including natural language, sign language and other symbolic or (semi)symbolic systems of communication. We therefore, envision this Frontiers Research Topic to become a hub for research that explores language from an enactive perspective, employing experimental and computational methods, and also including robot- and avatar- based embodiments, as well as simulation-based and other innovative methodologies.

You can find more about this topic at: http://journal.frontiersin.org/researchtopic/4136/language-and-cognition

The submission deadline for the first issue of this topic is the 20th December 2015.

There are a number of available article types that you may consider submitting, such as:

- Full reviews, Original Research Papers, Method papers etc. (15 pages)
- Mini reviews (5 pages)
- Opinion papers (3 pages)

More details on the article types available at: http://journal.frontiersin.org/journal/robotics-and-ai/section/computational-intelligence#article-types

Also note that Frontiers have a waiver program in place, which enables authors to submit a short application form http://www.frontiersin.org/design/pdf/Waiver_Form.pdf in parallel with their paper and then receive a waiver, which is available in many cases.
