<blockquote type=cite class=cite cite="">John Benjamins Publishing is
pleased to announce that Shanley E. M.<br>
Allen (Boston<br>
University) and Caroline F. Rowland (University of Liverpool) have<br>
agreed to become the new series editors for Trends in Language<br>
Acquisition Research (TiLAR).<br><br>
Shanley Allen (PhD, McGill University) is an Associate Professor in<br>
the School of Education at Boston University, USA. Her research<br>
focuses on how the morphosyntactic structure of a language affects
the<br>
patterns of development in that language. She is best known for her<br>
work on the acquisition of Inuktitut (Eskimo) as well as the<br>
acquisition of argument structure and argument realization. She has<br>
published numerous articles and chapters on language acquisition,
and<br>
has served for several years as Associate Editor of the Journal of<br>
Child Language.<br><br>
Caroline Rowland (PhD, University of Nottingham) is a senior
lecturer<br>
in the School of Psychology at the University of Liverpool, UK. Her<br>
research focuses on the question of how children acquire their first<br>
language, with the aim of developing and testing constructivist
models<br>
of the language acquisition process. She is best known for her work
on<br>
English children's acquisition of questions and auxiliaries and she<br>
has written, edited and contributed to a number of books and
journals<br>
on first language acquisition.<br><br>
TiLAR publishes monographs, edited volumes and text books on<br>
theoretical and methodological issues in the field of child language<br>
research. The focus of the series is on original research on all<br>
aspects of the scientific study of language behavior in children,<br>
linking different areas of research including linguistics,
psychology<br>
& cognitive science.<br><br>
The editors welcome proposals for thematic collections and
monographs,<br>
focusing on work with a constructivist/non-generativist slant. TiLAR<br>
wants to publish sound empirical work (including research monographs<br>
based on PhD theses of an excellent standard) and to encourage
debates<br>
and discussions.<br><br>
Shanley Allen and Caroline Rowland will be assisted by an editorial<br>
board<br>
consisting of:<br>
Ruth Berman, Tel Aviv University<br>
Morten Christiansen, Cornell University<br>
Jean Berko Gleason, Boston University<br>
Nancy Budwig, Clark University<br>
