Dear typologists,<br>
<br>
I'm happy to report that the DFG just announced that for the next
two years it will fund "<a href="http://langsci-press.org/">Language
Science Press</a>", the new platinum open-access publisher founded
by Stefan Müller and myself (here's the <a
href="http://www.dfg.de/en/research_funding/announcements_proposals/info_wissenschaft_13_70/index.html">DFG's
press release</a>).<br>
<br>
There are now eight book series published by Language Science Press.
The one of greatest interest to LINGTYP readers is "Studies in
Diversity Linguistics", which now has the first two forthcoming
books on its page:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://langsci-press.org/catalog/series/Diversity-Linguistics">http://langsci-press.org/catalog/series/Diversity-Linguistics</a>. The
series is intended both for typological books (monographs and edited
volumes) and for grammatical descriptions of individual languages or
groups of languages.<br>
<br>
In addition, you may be interested in the two series on African
languages.<br>
<br>
We expect to publish the first few books by late February 2014. We
are looking forward to further submissions, in all series.<br>
<br>
(And in case you were wondering what "platinum open access" means:
This means that neither readers nor authors pay the publisher.
Publication costs are paid by the publisher, as a <a

service</a>.)<br>
<br>
Season's Greetings,<br>
Martin<br>
