Dear Readers, For 15 years The LINGUIST List has been announcing new publications in linguistics. The number of those announcements has grown over the years from a single book our first year to nearly 800 books last year (we are well on our way to exceed that figure in 2007). Book announcements include title, author, publication and purchasing information and a brief review of the book's contents. To assist our readers in selecting books of interest, we also publish critical reviews of some of the announced books, reviews which are written by other linguists who provide this service on a voluntary basis. From this URL - http://linguistlist.org/issues/index.html - you can: 1) In the center of the page, click 'Books' or 'Reviews' to read announcements and reviews posted during the current year; 2) In the left side menu click 'Master Index of all LINGUIST Issues' to find every Book Announcement and Review we posted, back to 1992. Note that in the Reviews lists you can find our periodic AFRs (books Available for Review). If you would be interested in doing a review for The LINGUIST List, please follow our latest procedures, outlined in the most recent AFR, found here: http://linguistlist.org/issues/18/18-2884.html. Books and their reviews have sometimes been the source of rich discussion on The LINGUIST List. In the interest of equal time and the spirit of fair play, we invite authors of reviewed books and readers or writers of those reviews to initiate public discussion of a given book or review by submitting a Discussion item using the following URL: http://linguistlist.org/LL/posttolinguist.cfm (select Discussion from the Topic of your Posting dropdown menu) In the future, response to Reviews will be facilitated by a technological advance currently in the works. In the meantime, we hope that readers will avail themselves of this forum in which ideas may be exchanged to the benefit of LL readers everywhere. The LINGUIST List Crew
