Announcing a New Special Section of Language and Cognitive Processes:
Cognitive Neuroscience of Language

Language and Cognitive Processes provides an international forum for the publication of theoretical and experimental research into the mental processes and representations involved in language use. The psychological study of language has attracted increasing research interest over the past three decades, and Language and Cognitive Processes provides a common focus for this enterprise. The journal is also interested in fostering the relationship between cognitive theoretical accounts of language and its neural bases. From 2009, a Special Section of each Volume will be devoted to the Cognitive Neuroscience of Language to highlight the strong interest in the growing influence of cognitive neuroscience methodologies.

The journal emphasises the importance of an interdisciplinary approach to the study of language. Apart from research in experimental and developmental psychology, Language and Cognitive Processes publishes work derived from linguistics, philosophy, cognitive neuropsychology, cognitive neuroscience and computational modelling. Contributions are accepted in the form of experimental and observational studies, theoretical discussions, short notes and replies, and review articles.

New Special Section Announcement!

Language and Cognitive Processes now publishes two additional issues a year devoted to the Cognitive Neuroscience of Language. The development of cognitive neuroscience methodologies has significantly broadened the empirical scope of experimental language studies. Both hemodynamic imaging and electrophysiological approaches provide new perspectives on the representation and processing of language, and add important constraints on the development of theoretical accounts of language function.

In light of the strong interest in and growing influence of these new tools Language and Cognitive Processes publishes a Special Section on the Cognitive Neuroscience of Language. All types of articles will be considered, including reviews, whose submission is encouraged. Submissions should exemplify the subject in its most straightforward sense: linking good cognitive science and good neuroscience to answer key questions about the nature of language and cognition.

Manuscripts should be submitted through the journal's Scholar One website: http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/plcp. When submitting, please select "Cognitive Neuroscience of Language" from the manuscript type drop down.
