Texts in the Languages of the Pacific (TILP) Series

Have you done fieldwork in a language of the Pacific area, either Austronesian
or Papuan? Did you record and transcribe traditional stories, biographies,
descriptions of various activities, rituals or anything else? Our new series
Texts in the Indigenous Languages of the Pacific TILP would be an excellent
outlet for publishing and sharing these resources, across the board – the
community of language speakets and with scholars at large.

The Texts in the Indigenous Languages of the Pacific (TILP) series is a
supplement to Language and Linguistics in Melanesia. TILP is dedicated to the
publication and presentation of analyzed oral texts from the indigenous
languages of the Pacific. Each issue will constitute a guest-edited and
thematically organized collection of texts (glossed and translated into
English). 
Texts in the series may be single-authored or edited multi-contributor
collections, in an online PDF version. These may be accompanied with a link to
audio recordings (if these are available), as the audio files will not be
uploaded to LLM site. Texts will be presented in three or four-line
interlinear glossing and must follow a uniform style throughout, including the
use of a consistent set of abbreviations given at the beginning. 

The contributors will have the option of adding a non-glossed version of the
text(s) (which can be easily read and parsed by native speakers). False starts
and pauses should be edited out of the connected text. The transcription of
the glossed text should be as precise as possible. The length of each issue
may vary, from 20 pages to 200 pages or more. There are no restrictions as to
subject matter of the texts.Texts are published from a variety of genres
including myths, legends, rituals, procedural discourse, jokes, and personal
narratives.

Texts will be accompanied by a brief introduction indicating where the
language is spoken and by how many people, and, if possible, information on
its genetic classification, history of studies, the nature of fieldwork, the
list of references, abbreviations used, and, ideally, a map. The
contributor(s) may also include a brief grammatical sketch and additional
information about the language.

Proposals should include:
- a detailed table of contents
- a short (50–100 word) bio for each contributor
- a preliminary time-frame for the completion of the project.
LLM style sheet can be found at
https://www.langlxmelanesia.com/instructionstoauthors.htm

Where appropriate, contributors will be required to demonstrate that
appropriate permissions for the publication of these materials have been
obtained.

All enquiries and expressions of interest should be addressed to the editors
of the supplement series:
- Professor Alexandra Y. Aikhenvald (alexandra.aikhenvald at jcu.edu.au)
- Dr Deborah Hill (Deborah.Hill at canberra.edu.au)
- Dr Edgar Suter (esut at sunrise.ch)
