Date: 29-Mar-2012 From: Antonio Fábregas <antonio.fabregasuit.no> Subject: Borealis, An International Journal of Hispanic Linguistics E-mail this message to a friend Full Title: Borealis. An International Journal of Hispanic Linguistics Call Deadline: 31-Jul-2012 Borealis is now accepting articles and squibs for its two volumes in 2012. Papers about any topic related to contemporary Spanish in any of its varieties will be considered for publication (in English or in Spanish). See more details about the submission process, style and other practicalities here: http://septentrio.uit.no/index.php/borealis/index The monographic topic section of the journal in 2012 is the Individual-Level / Stage-level distinction in Spanish. Among many other issues that we consider pertinent for this distinction, we are particularly interested in submissions related to the following topics: - The proper semantic definition of the distinction (temporally-bound? different kinds of subjects of predication?...) - Its syntactic implementation (codified in different structures? part of the information of single heads?...) - Its impact in morphology (eg., word formation processes that only apply to IL or SL predicates) - Its interaction with secondary predication, parenthetical structures and other constructions - Their different discourse-contribution - Their pragmatic extensions (coercion, etc.) - The lexical representation of items that alternate between IL and SL readings - The connection between the 'ser' and 'estar' distinction and the IL / SL distinction. - The extension of 'estar' to new contexts in some varieties of American Spanish, such as Venezuelan Spanish or Costa Rican Spanish. This Year the LINGUIST List hopes to raise $67,000. This money will go to help keep the List running by supporting all of our Student Editors for the coming year.
