<br>
Dr Brian Dillon and I are delighted to be acting as Guest Editors for a forthcoming Special Issue of the Journal of Memory and Language on the topic of the ‘Memory-Language Interface’. In addition to obviously being well placed for JML, we believe that this
special issue will showcase the fantastic work in each of the memory and language areas that informs our understanding of the other, as well as providing a forum for articles that directly integrate the two domains.<br>
<br>
We circulated initial information about this Special Issue previously, but this email is to confirm that the portal for submissions to the Special Issue is now open. You may find more information about the special issue here:

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#212121;mso-ligatures:standardcontextual;mso-fareast-language:EN-US">The Journal of Memory and Language is an outlet for high-quality research on both memory and language processing. Over the years, the
research associated with each topic has sometimes proceeded in an independent fashion, with each field having the potential to be characterized by its own research questions, techniques, and theoretical perspectives. But there is a reason that JML publishes
both lines of research: There are deep, important connections between these literatures, and there is a wealth of research that has benefitted from a close collaboration across these research traditions. For example, working memory systems are responsible
for the short-term maintenance of information in the support of higher order cognition, and language comprehension and production are prime examples of such cognition. Memory systems also play a key role in learning at multiple time scales, and language researchers
have leveraged this observation to study the learning processes that support language acquisition.</span><span style="font-size:11.0pt;mso-ligatures:standardcontextual;mso-fareast-language:EN-US"><br>
<br>
The goal of this special issue is to highlight research at the memory - language interface, broadly construed. We seek submissions that leverage insights from theories of memory to advance our understanding of the key principles of language processing, and
submissions that leverage insights from language to advance our understanding of the key principles of memory. We intend both memory and language to be construed broadly: Submissions concerning working memory, episodic memory, long-term/semantic memory, and
procedural memory are all welcome, as are submissions that concern language acquisition, comprehension, and production. In addition, we welcome submissions that approach these questions in diverse languages and in diverse populations, including developmental,
aging, non-WEIRD, multilingual, and L2 populations.<br>
<br>
We specifically seek submissions that do at least one of the following:<br>
- Present new, theoretically significant empirical findings from language that bear on broader issues concerning memory.<br>
- Present new, theoretically significant empirical findings from memory that bear on issues concerning language.<br>
- Present a novel theoretical synthesis that joins insights from theories of language processing and theories of memory to advance our understanding in either area.<br>
<br>
Important dates:<br>
<br>
Submissions open: August 7th, 2023<br>
<br>
Submissions closed: January 7th, 2023<br>

All submissions will undergo normal peer-review.<br>
