Language, Cognition and Neuroscience

Aims & Scope

Language, Cognition and Neuroscience is an international peer reviewed journal promoting integrated cognitive theoretical studies of language and its neural bases.

Language, Cognition and Neuroscience integrates excellent cognitive science and neuroscience to answer key questions about the nature of language and cognition in the mind and the brain.

It aims to engage researchers and practitioners alike in how to better understand cognitive language function including, but not limited to: Language cognition Neuroscience Brain and language Language, Cognition and Neuroscience accepts all types of articles, including reviews and short articles.

Continuing our strong tradition in this area, Themed Issues are also warmly encouraged.

To further stimulate debate, we also invite the submission of theoretical 'position papers' (opinion pieces) that present novel theoretical perspectives on either established or novel phenomena of relevance to the psychology of language.

These papers may be used to package together into a single article a theoretical position that has evolved across a number of prior publications.

Alternatively, they may be used to present novel ideas that have not been expressed elsewhere.
