It is our pleasure to announce the next open call for submissions for the journal Dialogue and Discourse. Submissions are invited on all topics in the formal, computational, or psycholinguistic study of dialogue and discourse. Submissions received by June 30, 2017 will be considered for Volume 9, issue 1 (first issue of 2018). Submissions received after this date will be considered for the next regular issue. Dialogue and Discourse (D&D http://www.dialogue-and-discourse.org ) is the first peer-reviewed free open access journal dedicated exclusively to work that deals with language "beyond the sentence". The journal adopts an interdisciplinary perspective, accepting work from Linguistics, Computer Science, Psychology, Sociology, Philosophy, and other associated fields with an interest in formally, technically, empirically or experimentally rigorous approaches. We are committed to ensuring the highest editorial standards and rigorous peer-review of all submissions, while granting open access to all interested readers. D&D has published regular issues every year since 2010, and occasionally special issues on common topics. As of April 2017, D&D has published 57 papers, and the journal’s h-index is 16. D&D is endorsed by SIGdial, SemDial, and AMLaP. D&D is indexed by Scopus and the European Reference Index for the Humanities and Social Sciences. Submissions are made via the online submission system at http://www.dialogue-and-discourse.org/submission.shtml. Authors are required to indicate if a submission is an extended version of one or more previously published conference paper(s); simultaneous submission to another venue is prohibited. Submissions will undergo rigorous peer-review with the target timeline below. Once accepted and finalized, papers will appear online immediately, as part of the current issue. * deadline for submissions June 30, 2017 * decision made October 31, 2017 * revisions due December 15, 2017 * issue published January 31, 2018 Dialogue and Discourse Editors Issue Editors: David Traum (Volume 9, Issue 1): Barbara Di Eugenio (Volume 8, Issue 2) Amanda Stent (Volume 8, Issue 1) Editor In Chief: David Schlangen Associate Editors: Vera Demberg, Saarland University Barbara Di Eugenio, University of Illinois at Chicago Raquel Fernandez, ILLC, University of Amsterdam Jonathan Ginzburg, Université Paris-Diderot (Paris 7) Pat Healey, Queen Mary University London Massimo Poesio, Uni Essex, United Kingdom David Schlangen, Bielefeld University Manfred Stede, University of Potsdam, Germany Amanda Stent, Bloomberg LP Maite Taboada, Simon Fraser University, Canada David R Traum, University of Southern California, United States Full editorial board at: http://www.dialogue-and-discourse.org/editors.shtml
