 CALL FOR PAPERS

I have been invited by Kluwer Academic Publishers to edit a volume
entitled "A Minimalist Account of Language Acquisition: Functional
Categories and Case Checking." The purpose of the volume is to
publish a select number of papers (around 8 to 10) that explore the
application of the Minimalist Program, the latest version of the
Principles and Parameters approach to grammar, to issues central to
Language Acquisition. Crosslinguistic studies and papers on the
acquisition of less commonly researched languages are encouraged.

Four copies of papers of not more than 30 double-spaced pages should
be sent to:

 Dr. Usha Lakshmanan
 Department of Linguistics
 Southern Illinois University
 Carbondale, Illinois 62901.

Papers should be submitted by September 15, 1996. Papers submitted
will be peer-reviewed, and authors will be informed about the status
of their papers in December of 1996.

For further information, I may be contacted at the following e-mail
address (after August 10, 1996): GA3974SIUCVMB.BITNET
