Editor for this issue: <>
The moderators of LINGUIST have asked me to post tables of contents of forthcoming issues of LANGUAGE for the benefit of LINGUIST subscribers who often get U.S. journals only after months of delay. Accordingly, the contents of the next issue are listed below. This list includes everything except Book Notices (which are usually so numerous that listing them would take up too much space) and the Editor's Department column (which appears in most issues and is primarily designed to describe and explain journal policies and procedures).
