CALL FOR PAPERS
===============
Since the turn of the millennium, the application of quantitative methods on empirical data, with increasing sophistication and complexity, has become widely accepted as central in the development and testing of theoretical hypotheses concerning the nature of natural language and its processing by human beings. However, it is also increasingly recognized that quantitative investigations should be theoretically motivated and anchored. Quantitative analyses are not performed in isolation, but contribute to the regular scientific process of theoretical falsification. Simply put, quantitative methods and theoretical developments should mutually feed and influence each other.
Quantitative Investigations in Theoretical Linguistics (QITL) offers a forum for theoretically aware and methodologically advanced researchers from any linguistic discipline or methodology, and in particular, but not limited to:
Quantitative corpus based studies
Psycholinguistics
Variational Linguistics
Computational linguistics / NLP
Historical linguistics
Typology
Lexical Semantics
Second language acquisition / applied linguistics
Contact Linguistics
First language acquisition
