Papers should adhere to the following guidelines:
1. Begin with the paper's abstract. 2. Include the historical evolution of the phenomenon you describe, with particular focus on its current state. All discussion should show -- either generally or by example of language-specific data -- how the new media effect linguistic change and/or change in language use, in part as a result of the nature of the medium's development. 3. Adhere to the LSA stylesheet (http://www.lsadc.org/info/pubs-lang-style.cfm) 4. Include a short bio and institutional summary.
Abstracts and papers should be in English. The volume will be reviewed by the series editor as well as by the volume editors. Prospective authors should submit a preliminary abstract to the editors by April 30 2006.
