Directory         1.    David Denison, English Language and Linguistics Message 1: English Language and Linguistics Date: 05-Jul-2010 From: David Denison <david.denisonmanchester.ac.uk> Subject: English Language and Linguistics E-mail this message to a friend Full Title: English Language and Linguistics Linguistic Field(s): English; General Linguistics Call Deadline: 01-Jan-2012 English Language and Linguistics now appears in three issues per year, of which the July issue is usually thematic, with guest editors. Previous and forthcoming topics for special issues include: Syntactic variation in English The future Degree modifiers Re-evaluating the Celtic Hypothesis Noun Phrases in English The editors are now seeking proposals for special issues in 2012, 2013 and 2014 and would welcome suggestions falling within the general areas of interest of the journal. Expressions of interest should be sent to either of the editors at the contact details below, and we encourage an initial, informal discussion. A full proposal should then follow: this should be 2-3 pages in length and should include a summary of the area being addressed; an indication of why a treatment of this theme is timely; an outline of the authors and papers to be included; and a timetable for article submission and review, including proposed year of publication. If the special issue is to follow from a conference session or workshop, this should be made clear. There is no closing date for these expressions of interest, given the rolling programme of publication for special issues, but for the 2012 issue we do require proposals by the end of August 2010. We look forward to hearing from you!
