Safir, Rutgers University Gert Webelhuth, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill The Journal of Comparative Germanic Linguistics provides a platform for discussion of theoretical linguistic research into the modern and older languages and dialects of the Germanic family. Contributions that establish robust empirical generalizations within a formal theory of grammar that permit precise discussion are welcome. The empirical range of the work may either involve cross-linguistic comparison within the Germanic family, or elucidate issues in Germanic linguistics through the exemplary analysis of one Germanic language. Papers dealing mostly with modern English are required to have strong cross-Germanic implications. Areas of linguistics to be covered include Morphology, Phonology, Pragmatics, Semantics and Syntax. The journal will be published three times per year in the English language. Squibs, replies, book and dissertation reviews as well as researcher profiles will be included.

rullet.LeidenUniv.NL <jmwiedrullet.LeidenUniv.NL>ANNOUNCEMENT / CALL FOR PAPERS Sixth International Conference on Chinese Linguistics Leiden, 19-21 June 1997 http://iias.leidenuniv.nl/host/iccl-6/ ICCL-6 AT LEIDEN Since its foundation in 1992, the International Association of Chinese Linguistics (IACL) has convened annual conferences in Singapore, Paris, Hong Kong, Madison and Hsin-chu. Leiden University, with its long traditions in sinology and in linguistics, is proud to organize this event in 1997. The Sixth International Conference on Chinese Linguistics (ICCL-6) will be held in Leiden, Holland, from 19 to 21 June 1997. The conference is organized by Rint Sybesma and Jeroen Wiedenhof of the Sinological Institute, Leiden University, in close cooperation with the Inter- national Institute for Asian Studies (IIAS) . The IIAS also acts as the main sponsor of the event. CONFERENCE THEME True to the IACL tradition, the Leiden ICCL-6 conference welcomes papers on a wide variety of topics, such as syntax, phonology, historical linguistics, dialect studies, language teaching, and first and second language acquisition. We aim at providing anyone working in Chinese linguistics with an opportunity to present their work and to keep up with recent developments. The ICCL-6 conference theme will be: THE CHINESE LANGUAGES: THEORY AND DESCRIPTION Due to the great number of different Chinese languages and dialects, large areas of terra incognita are still to be explored. At the same time, students of Chinese linguistics, like linguists anywhere, are faced with a barrage of methods and theories. Our conference theme covers both types of diversity. Keynote papers will reflect the rich variety of Chinese languages and a wide range of linguistic disciplines. As Leiden University has traditions in both theoretical and descriptive linguistics, the organizers hope to make ICCL-6 a meeting place for linguists working in different and often complementary approaches to human language. CALL FOR PAPERS We welcome original papers on all aspects relevant to Chinese linguistics. Our deadline for abstracts is 31 December 1996.
