We'd like to remind readers that the responses to queries are usually
best posted to the individual asking the question. That individual is
then strongly encouraged to post a summary to the list. This policy was
instituted to help control the huge volume of mail on LINGUIST; so we
would appreciate your cooperating with it whenever it seems appropriate.

In addition to posting a summary, we'd like to remind people that it
is usually a good idea to personally thank those individuals who have
taken the trouble to respond to the query.

Subject:  Evaluating publication outlets

Folks,

I am interested in knowing how different institutions (in different
parts of the world, ideally) evaluate linguistics publication
outlets. In most tenure and promotion deliberations I am aware of in
the USA, for example, linguistics is like economics, but unlike, say
anthropology, history, or literary theory, in valuing articles (rather
than, say, squibs) in major journals (e.g. LI, NLLT, Lg, for at least
N.American theoretical linguists) over monographs, even monographs
from prestigious publishers, e.g. Cambridge, Oxford, Chicago, etc.

My question is this: what would a linguistics tenure/promotion
committee at your institution value most from, say, a
jr. syntactician, an article in NLLT, LI, or Lg or a research
monograph or other type of book?

Ultimately, I realize that thoughtful committees will give much more
importance to their perception of the quality of the publications
rather than the outlets per se, but I am interested in rules-of-thumb.

If there are sufficient responses, I will post a summary. Please
respond to me at: dan.everett at man.ac.uk

Dear colleagues

I am trying to find out whether any Japanese works on Linguistics or
Applied Linguistics (i.e. works of any period written in Japanese by
Japanese scholars on the Japanese language) have been translated in
other languages. I am particularly interested in European languages,
but any other reference is welcome.

Thank you
