New Co-editor for Studies in Language Companion Series (SLCS)

John Benjamins Publishing is pleased to announce that Elly van Gelderen
(Arizona State University) has agreed to succeed Michael Noonan as
co-editor of SLCS.

SLCS provides a forum for the discussion of issues in contemporary
linguistics from discourse-pragmatic, functional, and typological
perspectives. Areas of central concern are: discourse grammar; syntactic,
morphological and semantic universals; pragmatics; grammaticalization and
grammaticalization theory; and the description of problems in individual
languages from a discourse-pragmatic, functional, and typological perspective.

Elly van Gelderen is a syntactician, interested in language change. Her
preference is  directed towards language typology in the following concrete
sense: describing languages with a keen eye on universals or at least
cross-linguistic generalizations

She is currently writing a book on the linguistic cycle where she shows how
syntactic changes that occur over and over in different languages provide
insight in the language faculty. They point towards Economy Principles that
help a child acquire a language and analyze it in a different way from
previous generations. 

She is the author of six books, fifty or so articles/chapters, and has
taught at ASU since 1995. She has degrees from Utrecht University and
McGill and is the co-editor of Linguistics Today (John Benjamins). She is
also on the board of Diachronica, The Journal of Germanic Linguistics, The
LINGUIST List Advisory Board, and the South West Journal of Linguistics.

Elly van Gelderen (ellyvangelderen at asu.edu) will co-edit SLCS with Werner
Abraham (werner_abraham at t-online.de).

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Eastern Michigan University and as such 
can receive donations through the EMU Foundation, which is a registered 501(c) Non 
Profit organization. Our Federal Tax number is 38-6005986. These donations can be 
offset against your federal and sometimes your state tax return (U.S. tax payers 
only). For more information visit the IRS Web-Site, or contact your financial advisor.

Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that they will match any 
gift you make to a non-profit organization. Normally this entails your contacting 
your human resources department and sending us a form that the EMU Foundation fills 
in and returns to your employer. This is generally a simple administrative procedure 
that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without costing you an extra penny. 
Please take a moment to check if your company operates such a program.
