CALL FOR PAPERS

Reading, writing and translation: challenges and applications to/of empirical and experimental research

Home / Calls for Papers / Reading, writing and translation: challenges and applications to/of empirical and experimental research

It is our pleasure to announce the next open call for submissions for the online journal Domínios de Lingu@gem. This special issue is aimed to compile empirical and/or experimental research focused on the cognitive processes underlying translation, reading and/or writing in monolingual, bilingual or multilingual environments. The issue will be open to the various approaches in these domains and related areas, provided that they are followed by a reflection about the applicability of their results in the classroom and/or a reflection about their theoretical and/or methodological challenges, including those of validation of data collection instruments and comparability across studies. The submission deadline is August 31, 2018, and the manuscripts will be considered for volume 13, n. 2 (second issue of 2019). Submissions received after this date will be considered for the next regular issue.

Domínios de Lingu@gem (<http://www.seer.ufu.br/index.php/dominiosdelinguagem>) is a peer-reviewed free open access journal dedicated to work in the several subdomains of Linguistics. Its editorial board includes some of the faculty of Instituto de Letras e Linguística at the Federal University of Uberlândia in Brazil, and its scientific committee includes scholars from both Brazil and worldwide.

It is indexed by EBSCO, MLA, Latindex, DOAJ, Diadorim, Sumários.org, JournalSeek, WorldCat, Periódicos CAPES, BASE, CIRC, ERIPlus, EZ3, Google Scholar, and Livre.
