 _Experimental Studies in Spanish Linguistics_

We are in the initial stages of compiling a volume of experimental
studies of Spanish. The focus of the book will be experimental studies
which bear directly on questions of a theoretical nature. This may
include experiments dealing with lexical retrieval, language processing,
productivity of rules, language acquisition, aphasia, etc. This focus
may exclude some sociolinguistic and phonetic studies.

Please send a one page abstract of your study to:

David Eddington
