FLaP FIRST, a postgraduate student-led journal to present “Frank, Initial, Raw, Surprising Thoughts” broadly related to Formal Linguistics and Philosophy, is now making a global call for papers.

We welcome:
a. original manuscripts and/or working papers
b. squibs
c. unabridged and/or unmutilated manuscripts of papers published elsewhere
d. critical viewpoints
e. reviews of monographs, papers, or anything due for a review

Papers may be in English or Chinese. Chinese papers must provide title of submission and abstract in both languages. This is also recommended/expected for English papers. Chinese characters must be written in traditional Chinese.

Authors’ templates are available at our website and Facebook Group (https://www.facebook.com/groups/1010853150414893) for reference.
Submissions should be written as tersely as possible.
Each paper will be reviewed by up to three anonymous reviewers. Review is single-blind. Papers are either accepted or rejected. There will be no revisions.

If you wish your work to appear in this volume, please send submissions to FLaPFIRSTJournal@gmail.com before 01 October 2026.

A submission is a single WORD file, containing abstract and keywords. Since revision is not an option, the submission should be camera-ready. A PDF may be included for reference.

Submission constitutes confirmation by authors that (i) they are owners of the material submitted and/or have obtained rights to use content contained therein; and (ii) they grant non-exclusive gratis use of their paper and material to FLaP FIRST. Authors retain all rights.
