Call for papers on language academies
Language Policy, edited by Kendall King and Elana Shohamy and published by Springer, is planning a special thematic issue on the topic of language academies. Many nations (and most language revival movements) have language academies, and descriptions of their history, goals, constitution and activities can often be found on the web. But there have been few published attempts to evaluate their efforts, whether to revive, modernize, standardize, or purify languages. Papers are invited that look at the effectiveness (or otherwise) of language academies (one or more) as language management agencies. If you are interested, please send a preliminary outline to Bernard Spolsky (bspolskygmail.com), who will be editing the issue, no later than May 1, 2010. If the outline seems appropriate, you will be invited to submit a paper for normal peer review within six months of the decision. The issue should appear in 2011.

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!
