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.
