ISBN 87-7289-706-6. £30, $49. This book demonstrates that Linguistics, in all its varied branches, can be entertaining as well as thought-provoking. The subject is introduced in an unconventional way as a kind of fable with a historical moral that professional linguists, as well as students, should enjoy as a useful commentary on the state of the discipline today.

URL: From jaejung.song at STONEBOW.OTAGO.AC.NZ Sat Mar 22 00:45:02 2003 From: jaejung.song at STONEBOW.OTAGO.AC.NZ (Jae Jung Song) Date: Sat, 22 Mar 2003 12:45:02 +1200 Subject: Call for Papers Message-ID: CALL FOR PAPERS We are calling for papers on the topic of Linguistic Typology and Korean Language Acquisition. Accepted papers will be published in a single volume in the Saffron Korean Linguistics Series (Eastern Art Publishing, London, http://www.eapgroup.com). One of the areas to which linguistic typology (and language universals) can be usefully applied is language acquisition, be it first or second language acquisition. The interaction between language universals research and language acquisition research -- the recognition of which goes back to Jakobson's Kindersprache, Aphasie und Allgemeine Lautgesetze (1941) -- has been discussed in detail in recent introductory texts on linguistic typology, e.g. Song's Linguistic Typology: Morphology and Syntax (Pearson Education: 2001). The proposed volume seeks to explore this in the context of Korean L1 and L2 acquisition data. Some of the general issues to be dealt with in the volume include: the role of language universals in explaining the L1 and L2 acquisition processes or sequences; the role of language acquisition in the study of language universals; L2 areas of difficulty that do not arise from native language-target language differences; (re-)evaulation of acquisition data in the light of recent developments in linguistic typology; the role of language universals in L1 transfer; pedagogical implications of the interaction between language universals research and language acquisition research; and the like. We are looking for original or unpublished papers that are not simultaneously considered for publication elsewhere. Expressions of interest in the form of a 250 word abstract should reach the editors by 31 May 2003 (preferably in Word as an e-mail attachment). Authors whose abstracts are accepted will be invited to submit full papers for further consideration. All papers will be reviewed by independent readers.

Possible articles for this subject include theoretical and practical methods for the teaching of literature and/or culture, how technology can be used for the teaching of literature/culture, student attitudes towards literature/culture, the role of literature/culture in various disciplines, how culture can influence the learning process, the future of literary/cultural studies, ethical issues concerning the teaching of literature/culture, and the assessment of literary/cultural learning, amongst others. The articles should be 1500-3000 words long. Because of the interdisciplinary nature of our journal, no single format or manuscript style is required. The articles may be submitted by MS Word or postal mail as per the submission guidelines at: http://www.higher-ed.org/AEQ/rufen1.htm and should include the keyword CULTURE.
