Volume 16, 2027
JoSS covers experimental aspects that deal with scientific aspects of speech, language and linguistic communication processes. Coverage also includes articles dealing with pathological topics, or articles of an interdisciplinary nature, provided that experimental and linguistic principles underlie the work reported. Experimental approaches are emphasized in order to stimulate the development of new methodologies, of new annotated corpora, of new techniques aiming at fully testing current theories of speech production, perception, as well as phonetic and phonological theories and their interfaces.
In this vein, JoSS will receive submissions for a Dossier (Special Issue) under the title Variation of prosodic structures in second languages, contact languages and minority languages: experimental approaches. Possible topics related to this theme are presented below.
Full-paper manuscripts should be sent through the journal website according to the schedule below. The primary language of the Journal is English. Contributions in French are also accepted but will be translated to English by our team. The goal of this policy is to ensure a wide and equivalent access to all accepted papers in the issue. The contributions will be reviewed by at least two independent reviewers, though the final decision as to publication is taken by the Guest editors guided by the editor. For preparing the manuscript, please follow the instructions at the JoSS webpage.
