> Extended Deadline ARLA Vol. 4 Call for Papers: March 14th
> 
> THE ANNUAL REVIEW OF LANGUAGE ACQUISITION
> VOL. 4 (2004)
> 
> Editors
> Clartje Levelt, Leiden University
> Lynn Santelmann, Portland State University
> Maaike Verrips, Taalstudio, the Netherlands
> 
> ARLA is devoted to research in the domain of first language acquisition,
> i.e., the process of acquiring command of a first language. It focuses on
> research reported in recently defended PhD theses. The major share of
> contributions to the yearbook consists of excerpts from, or edited summaries
> of, dissertations addressing issues in first language acquisition, including
> bilingual first language acquisition. These papers should be written by the
> original author of the dissertation, conform to the format of a journal
> article, and thus be comprehensible without reference to the source text.
> 
> ARLA publishes reports of original research pertaining to various approaches
> to first language and bilingual first language acquisition, be it
> experimental, observational, computational, clinical or theoretical,
> provided that the work is of high quality. The Annual Review also welcomes
> studies in which first language acquisition is compared to second language
> acquisition, as well as studies on language acquisition under abnormal
> conditions. In all of the areas covered, ARLA is dedicated to creative and
> groundbreaking research.
> 
> The yearbook, in its printed form, will be supplemented by an attractive
> website. The website will give access to electronic copies of the printed
> papers, but, more importantly, will also present background materials such
> as a resume for the author, excerpts of audio or video materials related to
> the reported research, tips for further reading, and links to relevant
> websites.  In addition to the research reports sketched above, each issue of
> the Annual Review contains one state-of-the-art review in a subdomain of
> first language acquisition research. This paper is commissioned by the
> editors.
> 
> Any student who has completed a dissertation in 2002 or 2003 is invited to
> submit a manuscript based on this work. In order to be eligible for
> publication, the manuscript should be of outstanding quality. Particularly,
> contributions are sought which excel with regard to the integration of
> behavioral data and (psycho)linguistic theorizing. More specifically, the
> Annual Review solicits papers which:
> *    develop new theoretical ideas to account for a set of facts;
> *    open up a new empirical domain or new set of data, e.g. explore a
> relatively unknown language, or apply a new or unknown experimental
> approach;
> *    report findings that are considered important for pertinent debates
> in the field.
> 
> Submitted papers will be thoroughly reviewed by at least two members of the
> editorial board and/or external advisers.
