    Subject: Carolina Working Papers in Linguistics/ CWPL


    I am pleased to announce the publication of the first issue of Carolina Working Papers in Linguistics (CWPL). This refereed and edited working papers publication will be published twice yearly (once in the spring and once in the fall). It features papers by students and faculty at universities in North and South Carolina, and invites papers on various topics, including: syntax, morphology, phonetics, phonology, semantics, reading, discourse analysis, psycholinguistics, first and second language acquisition, variation, sociolinguistics, anthropological linguistics, speech pathology, computational linguistics, composition and rhetoric, historical linguistics, philosophy of language, ESL/EFL teaching and methodology. CWPL is an initiative of the USC Graduate Students in Linguistics organization, and its editorial personnel are drawn from their members.

    Unlike many other working papers collections, this one is entirely web-based. It can be found at the USC Linguistics Program website: http://www.cla.sc.edu/LING/index.html The direct link to the working papers page is: http://www.cla.sc.edu/LING/cwpl/Cwpl.html The main page for each issue contains a table of contents, a bio for each contributor, an abstract describing each paper, and links to "pdf" versions of the full papers.

    The National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) is a grant-making agency of the U.S. federal government that supports projects in the humanities. Eligible applicants are: U.S. nonprofit associations, institutions, and organizations, as well as U.S. citizens and foreign nationals who have been legal residents in the United States for a period of at least the three years immediately preceding the submission of the application. NEH's Division of Preservation and Access funds projects that will create, preserve and increase the availability of resources important for research, education, and public programming in the humanities. Awards are provided to preserve the intellectual content and aid bibliographic control of collections; to compile bibliographies, descriptive catalogs, and guides to cultural holdings; to create dictionaries, encyclopedias, databases, and other types of research tools and reference works; and to stabilize material culture collections through the appropriate housing and storing of objects, improved environmental control, and the installation of security, lighting, and fire-prevention systems. Applications may also be submitted for national and regional education and training projects, regional preservation field service programs, and research and demonstration projects that are intended to enhance institutional practice and the use of technology for preservation and access. Projects may encompass collections of books, journals, newspapers, manuscript and archival materials, maps, still and moving images, sound recordings, and objects of material culture held by libraries, archives, museums, historical organizations, and other repositories. The Division has a single, annual DEADLINE for applications, JULY 1. Final decisions will be announced the following March. The guidelines and instructions can be downloaded from the NEH Web site at: http://www.neh.gov/pdf/guidelines/preservation.pdf A list of recent awards is also available at:
