Subject: Editorial Change at Hispanic and Lusophone Series

John Benjamins Publishing announces a change in the editorship of the book
series Issues in Hispanic and Lusophone Linguistics. As of Volume 10, Kimberly
L. Geeslin will replace Jason Rothman, who will remain on the board.

The new editorial configuration will be:
Jennifer Cabrelli Amaro | University of Illinois at Chicago
Kimberly L. Geeslin | Indiana University

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 Issues in Hispanic and Lusophone Linguistics 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.
