Special Issues devoted to Cognition and Technology
As technology advances we are witnessing changes in the nature of cognition. Dascal & Dror outline these changes and the underlying issues in their paper “The impact of cognitive technologies”. These wide range of issues pertaining to technology and cognition will be covered in a series of special issues of the journal Pragmatics & Cognition. We are inviting contributions to our special issues, as specified below.

Pragmatics & Cognition (P&C) will henceforth pay special attention to the growing interest in the relationship between technological advances and cognition – a field that is intimately related to the journal’s basic concerns.
Beginning with volume 13 (2005), Pragmatics & Cognition will contain three issues instead of the current two. Each year, one of P&C’s issues will be a thematic Special Issue devoted to “Cognition and Technology” (C&T), containing invited as well as submitted refereed papers. Space will also be reserved in these thematic issues for submitted articles, discussion notes, and book reviews in the field of C&T not specifically related to the theme of the Special Issue. Each Special Issue will be edited by Itiel Dror, who has been appointed P&C’s Associate Editor for C&T, and invited co-editors.

Papers published in the
Special Issues on Cognition and Technology will follow the general format and
style of the regular issues of Pragmatics
& Cognition, with the following
exceptions that manuscripts need to be submitted to the guest
editors of the Special Issue. Each editor should receive a single paper
copy and an electronic version of the paper (either as a MS Word or pdf file).
Other general guidelines are:
- All
manuscripts should be accompanied by a biographical note (50-75 words) and
an abstract (100-150 words).
- Footnotes
should be kept to a minimum. They should be numbered consecutively
throughout the text in square brackets or superscript. They should be
listed in a section 'Notes' following the main text. They should start on
a new page. The Notes should not contain reference material if this can be
absorbed in the text and References list.
- Authors
are kindly requested to check their manuscripts very carefully before
submission in order to avoid delays and extra costs at the proof stage.
Once a paper is accepted for publication the author will receive two
copies of page proofs of his/her contribution for final correction. These
must be returned with corrections by the dates determined by the
publication schedule. Any author's alterations other than typographical
corrections in the page proofs may be charged to the author at the
Publisher's discretion.
- Spelling
should be either British or American English consistently throughout
