(first call)
The next meeting of the Yuen Ren Society will be in March, 1996,
in conjunction with the 206th Annual Meeting of the American Oriental
Society, in Philadephia. This will be an open panel discussion of a
number of original reports on Chinese dialects, all of which will appear
in the next issue of the Society's journal, the _Treasury_. Submissions

The final deadline for us to receive your draft is 24 September

submitted anonymously to our review panel, and you will be notified of our
decision by mid-October. You will have until the end of the year to
submit your final draft, which will be published in the next issue of the
Treasury. The Treasury will be available to all conference participants
in plenty of time for them to have read it before the conference.

Subject: Call for Book Proposals/Survey
CALL FOR BOOK PROPOSALS
Sage Publications is seeking to expand its line of books and
journals in the areas of theoretical linguistics, applied
linguistics, psycholingusitics, computational linguistics,
sociolinguistics, cognitive linguistics, language acquisition, and
ESL. If you have a book or journal idea, or have considered writing
a book or starting a journal, please read on.
Sage is a well known publisher within the fields of methodology,
sociology, psychology, communication, evaluation, anthropology, and
a variety of other disciplines and professions. You may be familiar
with our Quantitative Applications in the Social Sciences Series,
also known as the "little green books."
For a book to be of interest to Sage it must meet two criteria:
-- It must be good work based on sound scholarship, and preferably
break new ground;
-- It must have a reasonable prospect of selling several thousand
copies over the 3-5 year life of an edition.
The successful Sage book will draw its audience from one or more of
the following sources:
-- The book might be a primary textbook for an undergraduate or
graduate course.
-- The book might be supplemental reading in an upper division
undergraduate or graduate course, or one of several books assigned
to a seminar.
-- The book may serve as a reference work or be used for
professional development, i.e., a book bought by a scholar to
serve as a reference or as an introduction to a subject.
-- The book may be used as a tutorial by graduate students or for
continuing education by professionals and scholars.
-- The book may be purchased by libraries (generally a function of
topic relevance and a positive book review).
I would like to extend an invitation for you to contact me about
book ideas of your own or research currently underway, whether
falling within the purview of our traditional books or not. Please
keep me and Sage in mind.
