    Snippets

    Call Deadline: 01-JUN-2004 EXTENDED CALL FOR PAPERS FOR SNIPPETS

    The submission deadline for the next posting of the syntax/semantics minijournal SNIPPETS has been extended to * June 1, 2004 *

    As usual, submissions are to be sent to the address snippetsunimi.it.

    Some relevant excerpts from the SNIPPETS editorial statement follow. Further details can be found at the website http://www.ledonline.it/snippets/, together with all published issues.

    The contents of the most recent issue are:

    1. Daniel Altshuler. A simultaneous perception of things: SOT in Russian 2. Sarah Felber, Dorian Roehrs. *So weird a baffling construction 3. Stefan Müller. Complex NPs, subjacency, and extraposition 4. Mark Volpe. Affected object unergatives 5. Roberto Zamparelli. On the thickness of plurals 6. Ed Zoerner. Gapping of copular be and [Spec, CP]

    Excerpts from the SNIPPETS Editorial Statement:

    1. Purpose

    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. ...

    2. Content

    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:

    - point out an empirical phenomenon that goes against accepted generalizations or that shows that some aspect of a theory is problematic; - point out unnoticed minimal pairs that fall outside the scope of any existing theory; - point out an empirical phenomenon that confirms the predictions of a theory in an area where the theory has not been tested; - explicitly describe technical inconsistencies in a theory or in a set of frequently adopted assumptions; - explicitly describe unnoticed assumptions that underlie a theory or assumptions that a theory needs to be supplemented with in order to make desired predictions; - call attention to little-known or forgotten literature in which issues of immediate relevance are discussed.

    We also encourage submissions that connect psycholinguistic data to theoretical issues. A proposal for a pilot experiment in language acquisition or language processing could make for an excellent snippet. ...

    3. Submission details

    We will accept electronic submissions at the address snippetsunimi.it. Electronic submissions may take the form of (a) the text of an e-mail message, or (b) 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 lectronic) return address. 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.

    4. Editorial policy

    Submissions will be reviewed by our editorial board, and review will be name-blind both ways. While we guarantee a response within 3 months of the submission deadline, we will only provide a yes/no response to the submitter. We will not request revisions (barring exceptional cases). We allow resubmission (once) of the same piece. -
