New Journal Announcement and Call for Papers

The Dipartimento di Linguistica e Stilistica (www.diplist.it) of the University of Cagliari, Italy, announces the birth of a new academic journal.

RHESIS

International Journal of Linguistics, Philology, and Literature

http://www.diplist.it/rhesis/index.php

About this Journal Rhesis is a new peer-reviewed international online journal that is divided into two streams:

Rhesis – Linguistics and Philology aims at publishing outstanding contributions in all subfields of functional linguistics that show a methodological orientation to the empirical verification of theories. It welcomes contributions in all empirically-oriented language studies with application to both classical and modern languages, and it devotes particular attention to theoretically-grounded studies in historical linguistics. It also welcomes philological studies focusing on either textual or cultural issues.

Rhesis – Literature welcomes contributions on both classical and modern literatures of the world, with a particular attention to critical innovation and interdisciplinary research. It features contributions on the diverse cultural manifestations of literature studies and related disciplines, with a special focus on hybridization and on the problematisation of genres

Rhesis will be issued twice a year, in June and December. Both issues will features research articles, review articles, research notes, and book reviews.

Authors: Contributions in English, French, German, Spanish and Italian will be considered, but an abstract in English should always be included.

Readers: Rhesis does not require a subscription fee, but registration will be required to access the contents of the journal; registration information will of course be kept confidential

Call for Papers

The Editors invite the submission of papers for the first issues of RHESIS, according to the subject areas and themes outlined in the Journal presentation.
