Propositions

ELAD – SILDA, Studies in Linguistics and Discourse Analysis, is an Open Access journal of linguistics, published by the Centre d'Études Linguistiques - Corpus, Discours et Sociétés of the Université Jean Moulin Lyon 3. It publishes original research articles in the field of linguistics and discourse analysis, after a process of double-blind peer-review. The editorial policy of the journal is based on two principles:

• The first is the preference for authentic data and usage-based linguistics. This preference is manifested in particular by the attention given to corpora (existing large corpora or corpora created for the needs of the study). The articles may deal with phonetic and phonological, morpho-syntactic, lexical, pragmatic and stylistic phenomena, from a theoretical perspective as well as from the point of view of applied linguistics. The Board of Editor pays attention to the link that must be established between systemic linguistic phenomena and their use in specific discourse contexts. We also welcome contributions taking discourse phenomena as empirical base for a dialogue between linguistics and other disciplines (literature, history, political science, philosophy, sociology, psychology, etc.).

• The second guiding thread of our editorial policy is linguistic diversity. This holds both for the languages of publication and for the languages investigated in the contributions. Contrastive and more generally cross-linguistic, comparative articles are particularly welcome. We accept articles in Arabic, Chinese, English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Polish, Russian, Spanish and Ukrainian.

Submissions

ELAD – SILDA accepts varia articles and publishes at least one thematic issue per year.

The proposals are reviewed in double-blind by two members of the international scientific committee or one member of the scientific committee and one external expert, depending on the fields covered by the article. Contributions submitted to ELAD-SILDA must reflect original work and not have been previously published elsewhere. Each article proposal includes an abstract (between 200 and 350 words) as well as keywords in French and English (as well as in the language of the paper, if other). Details on how to submit can be found here: https://publications-prairial.fr/elad-silda/index.php?id=941.

Proposals for thematic issues include a letter of intention of approximately two pages (excluding the bibliography). Thematic issues based on conferences, seminars or study days must include a list of expected contributions. ELAD – SILDA also encourages applications for open thematic issues, for which the calls for papers are expected to circulate on professional lists, most notably the LinguistList.

Before submitting your contribution, please take notice of our Ethical Guidelines and of our Instructions to Authors.

Open Review, Open Access

Contributors may choose to engage in a post-publication Open Review: in the months following the publication of the article, the journal will accept answers and reactions to the article. These will be published after a round of peer-reviewing; by choosing the Open Review mechanism, the contributors of the original article commit to providing a public response no later than 12 months after the publication of the original article.
