Neurocognitive Philology and Linguistics

The Neurocognitive Philology and Linguistics section explores the intersection of cognitive sciences with philological and linguistic disciplines, integrating multidisciplinary approaches to examine language and text acquisition, processing, and transmission. This section promotes a vision that merges experimental cognitive neuroscience with traditional methods like textual analysis, historical linguistics, and literary criticism. A key goal is to enhance understanding of neurocognitive processes in reading, comprehension, and language production—both written and oral—across various historical and cultural contexts.

Particular attention is given to manuscripts, the evolution of textual forms, and how linguistic structures were perceived in the past, using neuroscientific techniques like fMRI and EEG to study how the brain processes complex linguistic information. The section also explores language comprehension and processing in both ancient and modern languages, aiming to integrate neuroscientific data into traditional linguistic theories. Comparative studies between languages are welcomed to understand cognitive similarities and differences.

The editorial policy prioritizes theoretical and empirical contributions with innovative, interdisciplinary approaches. 

The section fosters collaboration with other journal areas, promoting interdisciplinary dialogue. It serves as a bridge between the humanities and cognitive sciences, advancing knowledge in neurocognitive linguistics and cognitive philology.

Research on neurophilology's implications for language teaching, acquisition, and language technologies is also encouraged, opening new research avenues in education, machine translation, and natural language processing.
