CALL FOR PAPERS Journal of Language Aggression and Conflict Language studies have for years tended to concentrate on the analysis of harmonious interactions. However, more recently, the study of acrimonious interaction has started gathering momentum. Therefore, the launching of the Journal of Language Aggression and Conflict (John Benjamins) is a timely event to give center stage to research focusing on the language of conflict and aggression. For more information please visit http://benjamins.com/#catalog/journals/jlac/main The first volume is coming out in June 2013. We would like to invite scholars working in these areas to contribute research papers or book reviews for the third or subsequent volumes. The journal is peer-reviewed and is published bi-annually (March and August). The third volume is due March 2014. Interested colleagues are invited to submit their contributions by the end of December 2013. For questions, please contact: Pilar Garcés Blitvich (pgblitvi@uncc.edu) and Maria Sifianou (msifian@enl.uoa.gr) Please disseminate this information to any colleagues you think might be interested.
