Languages, Literatures, and Cultures

The book tentatively entitled, 'Languages, Literatures and Cultures: A
Compendium' seeks to explore issues relating to languages, literatures and
cultures. It is expected to show how languages, in global terms, engaged in
several domains, convey culture-related values both in life situations and
literary mediations. Papers which must be written in English, which should
be between 6000 and 10000 words long and which must be related to specific
linguistic, social, political, cultural, literary, artistic and situational
experiences are expected to cover the following or other related areas:

1. Language, literature and social values
2. Language and ideology
3. Ideological expression in literature
4. Language, literature and political culture
5. Linguistic theories and politics
6. Language, literature and violence
7. Literary theories and politics
8. Language, literature and history
9. Language, literature and power
10. Language, literature and development
11. Language, literature and religion 
12. Language, literature and gender
13. Language, literature and traditional medicine
14. Language, literature and orature
15. Language, literature and education
16. Literature, culture and education
17. Language, literature and ethical values 
18. Language, literature and social class
19. Language and domestic discourse
20. Language, literature and the media
21. Language, culture and law 
22. Communication, culture and development
23. Communication, culture and grassroots development/governance

Soft copies of papers should be sent to Akin Odebunmi

akinola.odebunmi at frias.uni-freiburg.de) or any of the editors. The deadline
for submission of manuscripts is July 30, 2010. Languages, Literature and
Cultures will be a two-volume book, and is expected to be published by a
reputable international publisher as soon as editorial processes are completed.

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.

Thank you very much for your support of LINGUIST!
