Journal Announcement and Call for Papers:
Announcing a new journal: The Journal of Amazonian Languages
PUBLISHERS: The University of Pittsburgh & The University of Rondonia, Brazil.
EDITORIAL POLICY: The Journal of Amazonian Languages, seeks to publish
high-quality, peer-reviewed articles on any aspect of the languages of
lowland Amazonia. In addition to Amazonian languages proper (those
spoken in the Amazonian or Orinocan basins), The Journal of Amazonian
Languages welcomes submissions on other indigenous languages of
lowland South America, including languages of Chile, Argentina,
Columbia, etc. Topics or areas might include survey results
(e.g. reports on new languages & dialects or updating of information
on inaccurate or vague older survey data), theoretical or typological
linguistics, issues in language survival, descriptive linguistics
(especially "grammar fragments", i.e. sketches of whole grammars or
parts of grammars that are too large for other journal outlets, but
too small to be published as separate monographs), sociolinguistics,
historical and comparative linguistics, and other areas of relevance
to the classification, history, and general understanding of Amazonian
languages and their contributions to development of ideas on human
language.
All submissions will be rigorously reviewed by members of the
editorial board and/or outside referees as needed. Works may be
submitted in Portuguese, English, Spanish, or French, but if accepted
must be translated into English for publication. There is no absolute
size limit on mss., but the maximum suggested size is 40-60pp
double-spaced. Contributors should follow the LSA stylesheet
carefully.
There are three motivations for the establishment of yet another
journal. First, many of the types of article we are looking for, as
mentioned above, are less likely to be published by other
journals. Second, since so little is known about Amazonian languages,
it is important to have an authoritative, central source of
information on these languages. Finally, research on Amazonian
languages has been increasing over the last few years such that for
the first time in the history of Amazonian studies we believe that
there is a sufficient amount of high-quality research being conducted
to warrant a separate journal.
Publication schedule: Once a year. First issue projected for October 1996.
Estimated size is 250-300pp per
volume.
Manuscripts for review should be sent to the Editor:
