Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We invite submissions for a Special Issue of the journal Languages titled "Current Issues in Vietnamese Linguistics", featuring selected papers from the annual ISVL (International Scholars of Vietnamese Linguistics) workshop, held since 2021 in various locations worldwide. The workshops were organized by different institutions, including Harvard, Yenching Institute (2021), Konan University, Vietnam National University Hanoi (2022 and 2023), and National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University (2024).
The ISVL workshop serves as a scholarly forum for global experts to explore the latest research on Vietnamese linguistics, which has evolved significantly over its four-year existence.
This Special Issue, a follow-up to the ISVL workshop, focuses on current Vietnamese linguistic issues, covering phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, pragmatics, and historical linguistics. Its aim is to provide a platform for high-quality research publication, enrich the existing literature with cutting-edge insights, and promote interdisciplinary dialogue among scholars. By offering a state-of-the-art overview of contemporary research, this Special Issue contributes to the advancement of Vietnamese linguistics, stimulating further discussion and debate across different theoretical perspectives.
Submission Guidelines
We request that, prior to submitting a manuscript, interested authors initially submit a proposed title and an abstract of 200 words summarizing their intended contribution before 15 April 2024. Please send it to the guest editors ([email protected], [email protected], and [email protected]). Abstracts will be reviewed by the guest editors for the purposes of ensuring proper fit within the scope of the Special Issue. Notification of abstract acceptance will be given by May 15, 2024. Full manuscripts will undergo a double-blind peer-review process.
