English Text Construction
English Text Construction (ETC) is an international journal devoted to English studies and published biannually by John Benjamins, presently in its third volume, with its current issue (3.2) a special issue devoted to “Textual choices and discourse genres: creating meaning through form” (guest-edited by Barbara Dancygier and José Sanders, with contributions by Mike Borkent, Barbara Dancygier, Vera Tobin, Lieven Vandelanotte, José Sanders, Elena Semino, Elżbieta Górska, and Carol Lynn Moder).

ETC publishes peer-reviewed papers in the different areas of English studies – literary studies, linguistics and applied linguistics/ELT – and aims to promote crossfertilization and synergy between these domains in the study of subject and text. Because of this focus, approaches within functional, cognitive and constructional approaches to language naturally fall within the purview of ETC.

Authors interested in submitting a paper to ETC can send their submission to the managing editor at keith.carlon at uclouvain.be<mailto:keith.carlon at uclouvain.be>. Expressions of interest to guest-edit a special issue are welcome at the same address; potential guest editors should bear in mind that an ETC special issue should explicitly address at least two out of its three broad areas of interest, viz. literary studies, linguistics, and applied linguistics/ELT.

The full text of ETC’s aims and scope and tables of contents of the first three volumes are available from the Benjamins website at http://www.benjamins.com/cgi-bin/t_seriesview.cgi?series=ETC. Editorial information is included below.
