    An extract from the SNIPPETS Editorial Statement follows.

    - ---------------------------------------------------- >From the SNIPPETS Editorial Statement:

    .. The aim of Snippets is to publish specific remarks that motivate research or that make theoretical points germane to current work. The ideal contribution is the ideal footnote: a side remark that taken on its own is not worth lengthy development but that needs to be said.

    .. We will publish notes that contribute to the study of syntax and semantics in generative grammar. The notes are to be brief, self-contained and explicit. They may do any of the following things:

    a. point out an empirical phenomenon that goes against accepted generalizations or that shows that some aspect of a theory is problematic; b. point out unnoticed minimal pairs that fall outside the scope of any existing theory; c. point out an empirical phenomenon that confirms the predictions of a theory in an area where the theory has not been tested; d. explicitly describe technical inconsistencies in a theory or in a set of frequently adopted assumptions; e. explicitly describe unnoticed assumptions that underlie a theory or assumptions that a theory needs to be supplemented with in order to make desired predictions; f. propose an idea for a pilot experiment in language acquisition or language processing that directly bears on theoretical issues; g. call attention to little-known or forgotten literature in which issues of immediate relevance are discussed. ..

    We will solicit submissions issue by issue. A new submission deadline will be announced for each issue, and the submissions that we receive we will consider only for that issue. The submissions that we accept will be printed in the upcoming issue; none will be scheduled for a later issue.

    Submissions are to be a maximum of 500 words (including examples), with an additional half page allowed for diagrams, tables and references. Given that we envision the submissions themselves as footnotes, _the submissions may not contain footnotes of their own_. The ideal submission is one paragraph; a submission of five lines is perfectly acceptable. We will not consider abstracts.

    We will accept electronic submissions at the address

    snippetsunimi.it

    Paper submissions should be sent to

    Caterina Donati Facolta' di Lingue Universita' di Urbino Piazza Rinascimento 7 61029 Urbino ITALY

    We strongly encourage electronic submissions. Electronic submissions may take the form of the text of an e-mail message, or an attached file. The attached file should be a simple text file, a Word file (Mac or Windows), or a Rich Text Format (RTF) file.

    All submissions must state the name and affiliation of the author(s), and a (postal or electronic) return address.
