ANNOUNCING A NEW JOURNAL The first issue of JOURNAL OF EAST ASIAN LINGUISTICS has just been published by Kluwer Academic Publishers in Dordrecht, The Netherlands. EDITORS: C.-T. James Huang S.-Y. Kuroda AREA EDITORS: Kazuko Inoue Chungmin Lee Ting-Chi Tang FREQUENCY: 3x a year SCOPE: Initially, the Journal of East Asian Linguistics is devoted primarily to Chinese, Japanese, and Korean, but theoretical work related to languages of the same area other than these three is not excluded from its scope. The journal is especially interested in the following: 1. Theoretically oriented work on any apsect of the syntax, semantics, pragmatics, phonology, and morphology of an East Asian language. 2. Comparative work among East Asian languages and/or between an East Asian language and any language that contributes to the parametric theory of universal grammar. 3. Formal analysis of any aspect of the grammar at any historical stage of a language or the historical development of any language providing it has a bearing on East Asian languages. 4. Inter- disciplinary contributions from psycholinguistics, neuro- linguistics, and computational linguistics that have a particular bearing on the study of East Asian languages. 5. Remarks on, or replies to, any recent theoretical work related to East Asian linguistics. 6. Shorter notes with original observations that raise questions of analysis and explanation with significant theoretical implications. It is an important policy of the journal to welcome any contribution regardless of the theoretical framework in which the research is carried out. Any piece of work, as long as it provides a formal analysis of observed date, or formulates descriptive generalizations calling for an analysis, will be seriously considered.
