wscgate.wsc.edu>LANGUAGE Journal of the Linguistic Society of America Book notice list Below is the list of books currently available for 500 word book notices. The opportunity to write book notices is offered to all readers of Language whether or not they are LSA members, though the editor reserves the right to decline to send books to volunteers whose previous book notices have presented substantive or stylistic problems that increase the time required for editing. Students are encouraged to write book notices, though a faculty supervisor must agree to approve the book notice before it is submitted to the editor. Book notices are due within three months after the reviewer receives the book; this insures that works are reviewed in a timely fashion. Please feel free to circulate this list to colleagues.
