    • Children’s Literature, Culture, and Cognition

      The overarching aim of the CLCC series is to promote truly new theoretical approaches in the realm of children’s literature research on the one hand, and to emphasize a non-Anglo-American focus, bringing in exciting research from other areas. In addition, the new book series shall present research from many linguistic areas to an international audience, reinforce interaction between research conducted in many different languages and present high standard research on the basis of secondary sources in a number of languages and based in a variety of research traditions. Basically the series should encourage a cross- and interdisciplinary approach on the basis of literary studies, media studies, comparative studies, reception studies, literacy studies, cognitive studies and linguistics. The series should include monographs and essay collections which are international in scope and intend to stimulate innovative research in children’s literature with a focus on children’s literature (including other media), children’s culture and cognition, thus encouraging interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary research in this expanding field.

    • Classics in Psycholinguistics

      This series provides students with new editions of seminal works from Europe and America which appeared during the last quarter of the 19th and the early decades of the 20th century, when psycholinguistics emerged as an important area of interdisciplinary study.

    • Cognitive Linguistic Studies in Cultural Contexts

      This book series aims at publishing high-quality research on the relationship between language, culture, and cognition from the theoretical perspective of Cognitive Linguistics. It especially welcomes studies that treat language as an integral part of culture and cognition, that enhance the understanding of culture and cognition through systematic analysis of language – qualitative and/or quantitative, synchronic and/or diachronic – and that demonstrate how language as a subsystem of culture transformatively interacts with cognition and how cognition at a cultural level is manifested in language.

    • Cognitive Linguistics in Practice

      A textbook series which aims at introducing students of language and linguistics, and scholars from neighboring disciplines, to established and new fields in language research from a cognitive perspective. The books in the series are written in an attractive, reader-friendly and self-explanatory style. They include assignments and have been tested for undergraduate and graduate student use at university level.

    • Comparative History of Literatures in European Languages

      Sponsored by the International Comparative Literature Association. A series of volumes of literary history combining related and comparable phenomena from an international point of view. It covers literature of European languages from all over the world and in time spans the period from the Renaissance till the present day.

    • Consciousness & Emotion Book Series

      Consciousness & Emotion Book Series publishes original works on this topic, in philosophy, psychology and the neurosciences. The series emphasizes thoughtful analysis of the implications of both empirical and experiential (e.g., clinical psychological) approaches to emotion. It will include topical works by scientists who are interested in the implications of their empirical findings for an understanding of emotion and consciousness and their interrelations.

    • Constructional Approaches to Language

      The series brings together research conducted within different constructional models and makes them available to scholars and students working in this and other, related fields.

      The topics range from descriptions of grammatical phenomena in different languages to theoretical issues concerning language acquisition, language change, and language use. The foundation of constructional research is provided by the model known as Construction Grammar (including Frame Semantics). The book series publishes studies in which this model is developed in new directions and extended through alternative approaches. Such approaches include cognitive linguistics, conceptual semantics, interaction and discourse, as well as typologically motivated alternatives, with implications both for constructional theories and for their applications in related fields such as communication studies, computational linguistics, AI, neurology, psychology, sociology, and anthropology.

      This peer reviewed series is committed to innovative research and will include monographs, thematic collections of articles, and introductory textbooks.

    • Contact Language Library

      Contact Language Library (CoLL) presents descriptive and theoretical studies on contact languages. The series takes a wide definition of contact languages that includes not only pidgin, creole and mixed languages, but also other languages and varieties which have emerged in high contact situations. The series welcomes empirical studies based on either synchronic or diachronic data of language use in contact situations world-wide. This includes historical archive-based studies of individual varieties or groups of contact languages. CoLL particularly welcomes grammars and in depth descriptions of grammatical aspects of living contact varieties or those no longer spoken. All CoLL publications are anonymously and internationally refereed.
      Contact Language Library (CoLL), is a continuation of the former Creole Language Library.

    • Controversies

      Controversy is a ubiquitous phenomenon in human theoretical and practical life. It manifests itself in various forms, ranging from virulent polemics to polite and well-ordered discussion. It expresses dissent, and may either lead to irreconcilable conflict or pave the way to conflict resolution. It occurs in private and everyday social life, in the courtroom and in politics, as well as in science, the arts, philosophy, and theology. Wherever it occurs, controversy sharpens critical thinking and prevents mental and social stagnation. Rather than a peripheral phenomenon, controversy is the engine of intellectual and practical progress.

      The proper study of controversy is inevitably interdisciplinary, requiring the cooperation of practitioners of the art of controversy as well as of researchers in conflict resolution, mediation, diplomacy, communication, linguistics, logic, rhetoric, history, philosophy, anthropology, psychology, etc. The book series is predicated upon the belief that interdisciplinary research is a must in the investigation of complex phenomena such as controversy, and that it is feasible, even though it is not easy to achieve.

      Controversies includes studies in the theory of controversy or any of its salient aspects, studies of the history of controversy forms and their evolution, case-studies of particular historical or current controversies in any field or period, edited collections of documents of a given controversy or a family of related controversies, and other controversy-focused books. The series also acts as a forum for ‘agenda-setting’ debates, where prominent discussants of current controversial issues take part. Since controversy involves necessarily dialogue, manuscripts focusing exclusively on one position will not be considered.

    • Converging Evidence in Language and Communication Research

      Over the past decades, linguists have taken a broader view of language and are borrowing methods and findings from other disciplines such as cognition and computer sciences, neurology, biology, sociology, psychology, and anthropology. This development has enriched our knowledge of language and communication, but at the same time it has made it difficult for researchers in a particular field of language studies to be aware of how their findings might relate to those in other (sub-)disciplines.

      CELCR seeks to address this problem by taking a cross-disciplinary approach to the study of language and communication. The books in the series focus on a specific linguistic topic and offer studies pertaining to this topic from different disciplinary angles, thus taking converging evidence in language and communication research as its basic methodology.

    • Culture and Language Use

      CLU-SAL publishes monographs and edited collections, culturally oriented grammars and dictionaries in the cross- and interdisciplinary domain of anthropological linguistics or linguistic anthropology. The series offers a forum for anthropological research based on knowledge of the native languages of the people being studied and that linguistic research and grammatical studies must be based on a deep understanding of the function of speech forms in the speech community under study.
