Snippets 	

Call Deadline: 01-JUN-2004
EXTENDED CALL FOR PAPERS FOR SNIPPETS

The submission deadline for the next posting of the syntax/semantics
minijournal SNIPPETS has been extended to
                 * June 1, 2004 *

As usual, submissions are to be sent to the address snippets at unimi.it.

Some relevant excerpts from the SNIPPETS editorial statement follow.
Further details can be found at the website
http://www.ledonline.it/snippets/, together with all published issues.

The contents of the most recent issue are:

1. Daniel Altshuler. A simultaneous perception of things: SOT in
Russian
2. Sarah Felber, Dorian Roehrs. *So weird a baffling construction
3. Stefan MÃ¼ller. Complex NPs, subjacency, and extraposition
4. Mark Volpe. Affected object unergatives
5. Roberto Zamparelli. On the thickness of plurals
6. Ed Zoerner. Gapping of copular be and [Spec, CP]

Excerpts from the SNIPPETS Editorial Statement:

1. Purpose

The aim of Snippets is to publish specific remarks that motivate
research or that make theoretical points germane to current work. The
ideal contribution is the ideal footnote: a side remark that taken on
its own is not worth lengthy development but that needs to be said.
...

2. Content

We will publish notes that contribute to the study of syntax and
semantics in generative grammar. The notes are to be
brief,self-contained and explicit. They may do any of the following
things:

- point out an empirical phenomenon that goes against accepted
generalizations or that shows that some aspect of a theory is
problematic;
- point out unnoticed minimal pairs that fall outside the scope of any
existing theory;
- point out an empirical phenomenon that confirms the predictions of a
theory in an area where the theory has not been tested;
- explicitly describe technical inconsistencies in a theory or in a
set of frequently adopted assumptions;
- explicitly describe unnoticed assumptions that underlie a theory or
assumptions that a theory needs to be supplemented with in order to
make desired predictions;
- call attention to little-known or forgotten literature in which
issues of immediate relevance are discussed.

We also encourage submissions that connect psycholinguistic data to
theoretical issues. A proposal for a pilot experiment in language
acquisition or language processing could make for an excellent
snippet.  ...

3. Submission details

We will accept electronic submissions at the address
snippets at unimi.it. Electronic submissions may take the form of (a) the
text of an e-mail message, or (b) an attached file. The attached file
should be a simple text file, a Word file (Mac or Windows), or a Rich
Text Format (RTF) file. All submissions must state the name and
affiliation of the author(s), and a (postal or lectronic) return
address.  Submissions are to be a maximum of 500 words (including
examples),with an additional half page allowed for diagrams, tables
and references. Given that we envision the submissions themselves as
footnotes, the submissions may not contain footnotes of their own. The
ideal submission is one paragraph; a submission of five lines is
perfectly acceptable. We will not consider abstracts.

4. Editorial policy

Submissions will be reviewed by our editorial board, and review will
be name-blind both ways. While we guarantee a response within 3 months
of the submission deadline, we will only provide a yes/no response to
the submitter. We will not request revisions (barring exceptional
cases). We allow resubmission (once) of the same piece.  -
