<div><font face="Arial" size="2">Dear Corpora colleagues, I started
the discussion on Peer Reviewing and I am quite happy about it. It
looks that it is a burning question in linguistics. I agree with those
who say that Peer Reviewing results are not satisfactory. It usually
forces the author to go along the way he does not like even if the
article is published with changes. Peer Reviewing makes the article
more primitive and common. One should remove all innovations and new
theories. It makes the article more common and not so interesting. It
also makes the waiting process too long while our life is so short= Can
we afford it? I feel it is a waiste of time of your life. Recently I
received two reviews from Linguistica Uralica. The first reviewer wrote
that that article has too much new original information and therefore
the readers shall not understand it. The other reviewer wrote that
there was no new information and therefore it shall not be interesting
for the readers. I wonder if the editor read these two contradictory
statements before sending them to me? The edotors of the great
linguistics journal LANGUAGE usually answered me that my articles are
not in the scope of their journal as if I wrote my articles not about
languages but about how to collect potatoes in the fields. It was
always so. I think they had too many areticles to get published. So
they had to reject 90% articles any way. Surely, I published my
articles which were rejected in other journals. I am sure the peer
reviewing process must be reconsidered. The reviewers must answer for
what they wrote. The only way is to open the names of the reviewers.
Why should I hide my name if I gave a negative review? If I think the
article is bad, then I must say it openly. Otherwise, it is not
logical. Otherwise, all the speakers at conferences should also cover
their faces if they want to criticize other linguists. Now that the
reviewers know that their names are under cover , they write what their
LEFT LEG wants. They do not answer for what they write. In courts all
judges and lawyers who want to condem a criminal must also cover their
faces. But they do not do it. They have great risks, but still they do
not hide their names, they sign the papers with their true names. Why
should the reviewer cover their names? If they really believe in what
they write, they should openly say so. So, I wonder if the general
linguistic public support my preposal not to let the reviewers hide
their names. Looking forward to hearing from you soon to <a
