The concepts for volumes of the Online Handbook of Language Criticism – A European Perspective (HESO) are ordinarily developed by the editors. The individual language articles shed light on the chosen thematic focal points for German, English, French, Italian and Slavic studies. Authors of the individual language articles are therefore usually requested by the project group. A call for papers is thus not planned. The authorship of the comparison article is mostly distributed across the language departments involved in the project. Nevertheless, proactive concept suggestions and suggestions from potential guest authors are welcome and will be gladly taken up by the editors.
