    Subject: Glot International


    The e-mail address for subsmissions and correspondence for the Squibs Department of Glot International has changed. The new e-mail address is:

    glot.squibsmcgill.ca

    As a reminder, a copy of the standing call for submissions is included below. Further information can be found at our website.

    CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS:

    Glot International invites submissions of squibs on any subject in any field of theoretical and/or applied linguistics. Since Glot International appears 10 times a year and our production time is relatively short, we have a short turn around time from acceptance to publication. The review procedure we have set up is also geared at losing as little time as possible. Contributors can help minimize delays by keeping to the formatting and length guidelines as closely as possible.

    Important!! Squibs in Glot International have a limit of approximately 1500 words.

    Squibs in Glot International:

    For Glot International, the most important characteristic is that squibs be inspiring. They should present new ideas, yet to be fleshed out in the details, but clearly and one at a time. They find connections between facts that nobody ever thought were related. They spell out the beginning of a new analysis, not necessarily daring. They give you new facts from old languages and old facts in a new guise. They come up with beautiful observations that somehow seem theoretically relevant as well. They tell you about wonderful problems and possibly only hint at a solution.

    Submissions and queries for squibs in Glot International should be sent to the address below. Electronic submissions in Acrobat (.pdf) format are prefered, other Mac compatible formats (and of course, hard copies) are also acceptable.
