 E-mail this message to a friend
John Benjamins Publishing is pleased to announce a new journal to be
published in 2011:
Linguistic Approaches to Bilingualism (LAB)
Over the past few decades there has been a sharp increase in the scientific
precision and complexity of the linguistic study of bilingualism. This
journal will contribute to this general program, assuming a broad
definition of bilingualism including:
- Adult L2 acquisition
- Simultaneous child bilingualism
- Child L2 acquisition
- Adult heritage speaker competence
- L1 attrition in L2/Ln environments
- Adult L3/Ln acquisition.
Linguistic Approaches to Bilingualism will provide an outlet for
cutting-edge, contemporary studies on bilingualism, exclusively from formal
linguistic and cognitive science approaches. The journal will solicit
high-quality articles of original research assuming any cognitive science
approach to understanding the mental representation of bilingual language
competence and performance, including cognitive linguistic theories,
emergentism/connectionism, generative theories, psycholinguistic and
processing accounts, and covering typical and atypical populations (e.g.,
SLI and other linguistic disorders). Four types of articles will appear in LAB.
http://www.benjamins.com/jbp/series/LAB/guidelines.doc
General Research articles: 8,000-10,000 word articles that present original
empirical research pertinent to the study of cognitive-linguistic
bilingualism.
Squibs and Research Reports: These articles should not exceed 5,000 words
and should present research on ongoing theoretical projects or subsets of
data sets making significant contributions that are time sensitive.
Epistemological Topics: these articles on topics of general epistemological
interest in the sub-disciplines that contribute research to the journal
will be between 8,000 and 12,000 words and will be by invitation only.
Spotlight issue: Annually, one Spotlight issue will be published focusing
on research of one particular language, language family or a cohort of
articles addressing the same theoretical questions within the remit of the
journal. Proposals to guest edit this issue should be no longer than 3
pages and sent to the editors.

This Year the LINGUIST List hopes to raise $65,000. This money will go to help
keep the List running by supporting all of our Student Editors for the coming year.

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Eastern Michigan University and as
such can receive donations through the EMU Foundation, which is a registered
501(c) Non Profit organization. Our Federal Tax number is 38-6005986. These
donations can be offset against your federal and sometimes your state tax return
(U.S. tax payers only). For more information visit the IRS Web-Site, or contact
your financial advisor.
Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that they will match
any gift you make to a non-profit organization. Normally this entails your
contacting your human resources department and sending us a form that the
EMU Foundation fills in and returns to your employer. This is generally a simple
administrative procedure that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without
costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if your company
operates such a program.
Thank you very much for your support of LINGUIST!
