 CALL FOR PAPERS

 TIES - Tocharian and Indo-European Studies
 Founded by Joerundur Hilmarsson
 Edited by
 Georges Pinault - Klaus T. Schmidt - Werner Winter
 Assisted by
 L.Isebaert (Bibliographical Editor) and
 Jens Elmegaard Rasmussen (Executive Editor) 

In persuance of a congressional decision made at the Tocharian
Colloquy held by the Indogermanische Gesellschaft at Saarbruecken in
October 1995, a new editorial board has been formed with the objective
to issue the journal _Tocharian and Indo-European Studies_ (TIES)
which was discontinued by the untimely death of its founder Joerundur
Hilmarsson in 1992.
 Explorations into the possibility of continuing the journal on
Icelandic hands having proved negative, the plan is now to bring out
the journal in Copenhagen in a shape and at a price not too much out
of comparison with its earlier policy. Due to old and sentimental
connections between Iceland and Denmark, it just may be realistically
hoped that the Danish government will allot the necessary fundings to
the project. An indispensable condition, however, is that there exist
a full manuscript of the first volume by October 1st of this
year. Therefore, authors are urged to send manuscripts for publication
in TIES, Vol.7 as soon as possible, and not later than August 1st, if
need be in preliminary form to allow a final touch to be given during
the last weeks available for the editorial preparations. This is
admittedly a very tight schedule, but we feel it is in everybody's
interest that we seize the present opportunity rather than wait for
the next chance which is a whole year later. And indeed, the lack of
the journal just may have led to an accumulation of ready or
semi-ready papers for which the proper outlet can now be provided.
 You will be doing a great favour to the community of Tocharian and
Indo-European studies and a continued tribute to the memory of
Joerundur Hilmarsson by sending a paper to the address printed
below. If you can, please help us in the process by adding a diskette;
you will cause the least amount of problems by using WordPerfect 5.1,
but most systems can be handled, and anything is helpful. If you
indicate an e-mail or fax address, the executive editor can give you
the board's decision on your paper within two or three weeks. The
typographical appearance of the volume will be slightly standardized,
but as a matter of principle the choice of textual organization is
free. What we need now, is the papers themselves, we can do aesthetics
later.
 We strongly appeal to scholars in and around the intersection of
Tocharian and Indo-European studies to receate the important journal
that TIES used to be. This is a job that deserves to be done, and
together we can do it.
