| Title | Call for Papers: Reading and Writing |
| Body | From http://linguistlist.org/issues/18/18-2186.html Call For Papers Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal A Special Issue: Acquiring Reading in Two Languages: Linguistic and Orthographic Factors The special issue is devoted to original research on the acquisition of reading in two languages simultaneously. As the special issue aims to promote a linguistic perspective on reading research, papers accepted for publication will have to show that linguistic principles have been integrated into the design of the study, the development of the tasks, and the interpretation of the findings. Researchers will be required to provide relevant comparative linguistic information about the languages under study. Only papers using experimental or quasi experimental design will be considered for acceptance. All papers will be subject to the normal blind review process of the journal. Topics may include: 1. The effect of the language's phonological system on phonological awareness. 2. The effect of the language's morphological structure (e.g., concatenated vs. non-concatenated) on morphological awareness (inflectional or derivational). 3. Orthographic depth and the relevance of phonological and morphological skills to reading (accuracy, fluency, etc.). 4. Shared phonological and morphological processes in bilingual reading. 5. Cross-linguistic differences in the acquisition of foundation literacy skills. Call deadline: February 1, 2008.
