Directory         1.     Timothy Face , Studies in Hispanic and Lusophone Linguistics Message 1: Studies in Hispanic and Lusophone Linguistics Date: 02-Dec-2010 From: Timothy Face <facex002umn.edu> Subject: Studies in Hispanic and Lusophone Linguistics E-mail this message to a friend Full Title: Studies in Hispanic and Lusophone Linguistics Linguistic Field(s): General Linguistics; Portuguese; Spanish Call Deadline: 31-Dec-2011 Call for Proposals for Guest Editorships of Special Sections of Journal Studies in Hispanic and Lusophone Linguistics is a refereed journal that publishes work in all sub-fields of linguistics and from all theoretical approaches on Hispanic and Lusophone languages, including not only Spanish and Portuguese, but also Catalan, Galician, Spanish- and Portuguese-based creoles. Each issue of Studies in Hispanic and Lusophone Linguistics has a section entitled 'Viewpoints'. Each Viewpoints section has a topic of broad interest to the journal's audience and contains several (usually 4-5) short position papers (2500-5000 words), with each approaching that topic from a different perspective (often, though not necessarily, from different fields of linguistic study). Past topics have been the place of dialectology within modern linguistics, the role of variation in mental grammars, the role of the abstract in linguistics, the place of morphology in the linguistic system, the role of linguistics in language teaching, and the place of naturally-occurring and elicited data in linguistic studies. The two 2011 issues have as topics interfaces and technology in linguistics. Tables of contents for past issues are available on the journal's website (www.shll-journal.com) where specific titles of individual Viewpoints papers can be seen. We are currently seeking proposals for guest editorships for future Viewpoints sections. Proposals should include a cover page with the proposed topic, contact information for the potential guest editor(s), and a brief biographical note about the potential guest editor(s). The remainder of the proposal should include a proposed table of contents with the authors (already contacted and willing to participate) along with the perspective from which each of the authors will address the topic, and a 1 to 2 page proposal that defines the topic, identifies the range of perspectives that are relevant to the discussion, and addresses why this topic will be of interest to the readership of Studies in Hispanic and Lusophone Linguistics. It is acceptable that the guest editor also be author of one of the papers. The first accepted proposal will be for the Spring 2012 issue, and the complete Viewpoints section would need to be submitted to the journal's editor no later than September 2011. Please submit proposals to the editor of Studies in Hispanic and Lusophone Linguistics, Timothy Face, electronically at facex002umn.edu.
