John Benjamins Publishing is pleased to announce a new book series:

Issues in Hispanic and Lusophone Linguistics

Editor: Jason Rothman University of Florida & University of Ottawa

ISSN 2213-3887

Romance linguists are by definition not only aligned with their 
theoretical paradigm (e.g. usage-based sociolinguists to generative 
grammarians), but rather there is a sense of a larger community to 
which all Romance linguists belong by virtue of the languages studied. 
Spanish and Portuguese are two of the top ten most widely spoken 
languages in the world. They are by far the largest two in the Romance 
family of languages in terms of number of speakers. It is fair to say that 
there is a strong sub-community of Romance linguists also aligned by 
virtue of their research foci on Spanish and Portuguese. Beyond 
providing high quality work applicable to the linguistic sciences in 
general, the aforementioned community of Hispanic and Lusophone 
linguists is precisely the audience to which we believe this book series 
will appeal to the most.

The aim of this book series is to provide a single home for the highest 
quality monographs and edited volumes pertaining to Hispanic and 
Lusophone linguistics. In an effort to be as inclusive as possible, the 
series hopes to include volumes that represent the many sub-fields and 
paradigms of linguistics that do high quality research targeting Iberian 
Romance languages. We seek projects pertaining to all dialects in the 
world where these languages (co-)exist (e.g. Europe, South and North 
America, Africa) as well as projects on the acquisition of these 
languages anywhere Spanish and Portuguese are acquired in 
childhood or adulthood.

Because our goal is to consider manuscripts from all relevant linguistic 
approaches, the common thread across the books within this series will 
be the languages themselves. Although we anticipate that the majority 
of the books will focus on Spanish and Portuguese, for obvious 
reasons, we would like to encourage book proposals that engage other 
Iberian-Romance languages in Europe (e.g., Galician, Catalan, 
Aragonese, etc.) and/or examine Spanish and Portuguese in their co-
existence with other non-Romance languages in Europe (e.g. Basque), 
indigenous languages in Latin America, English in North America, and 
other national and regional languages across the Hispanic and 
Lusophone world. Projects that engage several of these languages 
together are especially welcome. We will consider proposals that focus 
on formal syntax, semantics, morphology, phonetics/phonology, 
pragmatics from any established research paradigm, as well as 
psycholinguistics, language acquisition, historical linguistics, applied 
linguistics and sociolinguistics. The editorial board is comprised of 
experts in all of the aforementioned fields.
