<p dir="ltr">Congratulations on launching this journal. It looks great. If I were a little further along, I'd definitely be interested in being part of the editorial board. And I'll keep it in mind for sending papers.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Elm Academic Press is proud to announce the establishment of
a new journal—<i>Language, Culture and
History.</i> We will be focusing on the
intersections between linguistic anthropology, sociolinguistics, history, and related
disciplines that deal with the complex interactions between language,
communities, and time. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Possible approaches include:</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:0.5in">--Work that takes a language-oriented
approach to historical events, particularly events that were the focus of
important new socio-political forms.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:0.5in">--Work that focuses on the contemporary
construction of the historical past by a range of communities</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:0.5in">--Analyses of historical common
texts by groups of authors</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:0.5in">--Work that looks at the role of
language in the development of political power over time</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The format will be an innovative mix of open access and
traditional print publishing. The
current year of work will be available on line at the Society for Linguistic
Anthropology website, <a href="http://linguisticanthropology.org">http://linguisticanthropology.org</a>. (Many thanks to the
SLA Executive Board, SLA President Bonnie Urcioli, and the SLA webpage editor
Chad Nilep for making this possible.) The print version will be published once a
year and will collect all the issues of the year. Individual issues will be published in hard
copy only in special cases. After the
print volume appears, e-versions of the full yearly volume, individual issues,
and individual articles will also be available for a modest price.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> All issues will be
themed issues with guest editors playing an important part in the selection of
articles and and editing process of each issue.
Potential guest editors should submit a 500 word abstract for the issue
along with 250 word abstracts for each of the suggested contributors. The similarity between the AAA submission
process and the process for submitting to <i>Language,
Culture and History</i> is intentional and designed to lessen the gap between “great
session” and “published.” There will
also be issues with pre-set themes and open calls. All issues and individual
articles will be vetted by peer reviewers at both the abstract and finished
manuscript stage. Articles should be written for an informed general audience
including undergraduates studying anthropology and linguistics. All theoretical terms should be clearly
defined and used in aid of understanding specific ethnographical and historical
examples. The standard format will be a
series of articles (usually 4 to 10) with introductory material and
commentary. Other formats are possible
with the permission of the journal. At
some point, we also might establish a book review section. Initial queries and submissions of issue and
individual abstracts should be sent to <a href="mailto:LanguageCultureHistory@gmail.com">LanguageCultureHistory@gmail.com</a>.
Mark submissions with Query, Abstract Submission, or Manuscript Submission with
a quick summary of topic in the subject line, e.g., <i>Abstract Submission: Sapir and His Legacy.</i></p>
