Subject: Editorial Change JB Journal JPCL (Journal of Pidgin and Creole Languages)
E-mail this message to a friend After a transitory year, Don Winford has now handed the editorship of the Journal of Pidgin and Creole Languages (JPCL) to Bettina Migge (University College Dublin) and Anthony Grant (Edge Hill University). John McWorther (Columbia University) will continue as Associate Editor in charge of book reviews.
We sincerely thank Don for the many years of service since he took over from founding editor Glenn Gilbert in 2002, and acknowledge the support he had from his institution, the Ohio State University.
JPCL provides a forum for the scholarly study of pidgins, creoles, and other contact language varieties, from multi-disciplinary perspectives. The journal places special emphasis on current research devoted to empirical description, theoretical issues, and the broader implications of the study of contact languages for theories of language acquisition and change, and for linguistic theory in general. The editors also encourage contributions that explore the application of linguistic research to language planning, education, and social reform, as well as studies that examine the role of contact languages in the social life and culture, including the literature, of their communities.
