Cognitive Linguistics is the official journal of the International Cognitive Linguistics Association and the flagship journal of the discipline. The current Editor-in-Chief, Professor Dagmar Divjak, is stepping down in June 2024 after 6 years in the role and we are looking to appoint a new Editor-in-Chief to lead the journal and the editorial team.

Cognitive Linguistics is keen to increase the diversity on its editorial team. We welcome applications from cognitive linguists in any region of the world, provided that the prospective post-holder is fluent in English. We particularly welcome candidates who are invested in increasing equality, diversity, and inclusion, and in supporting Open Science.

Objective
Cognitive Linguistics presents a forum for linguistic research of all kinds on the interaction between language and cognition. The journal focuses on language as an instrument for organizing, processing and conveying information. Cognitive Linguistics is a peer-reviewed journal of international scope and seeks to publish only works that represent a significant advancement to the theory or methods of cognitive linguistics, or that present an unknown or understudied phenomenon.

Topics

the structural characteristics of natural language categorization (such as prototypicality, cognitive models, metaphor, and imagery);
the functional principles of linguistic organization, as illustrated by iconicity;
the conceptual interface between syntax and semantics;
the experiential background of language-in-use, including the cultural background;
the relationship between language and thought, including matters of universality and language specificity
