<div>Working with WALS<br>
</div>
<div>The Editorial Board of LT invites those who have been using and
working with The World Atlas of Language Structures (now online at
http://wals.info/) to write up their views on its strengths and
weaknesses (with the focus on the entire WALS concept or on WALS's
coverage of individual features, languages, or areas) and on the
possibilities and limitations of this tool for typology and to submit
such critically-constructive papers for possible publication in
LT.<br>
</div>
<div>Conciseness will be appreciated by LT's Editorial Board when
selecting the papers to be published. However crisp, comments
like "<font color="#333333">Fantastic resource, thanks</font>"
or "Abkhaz having only a small consonant inventory sounds wrong
to me, to my knowledge that should be large" should not be
submitted to LT, though: send these to WALS's own
Newsblog. </div>
<div><br>
Deadline for submissions is 1 August 2008.</div>
