Pragmatics of authors-name order

[Beverly Flanigan]

I happen to know these people, and I suspect Sue Gass was the instigator of
the volume and therefore listed herself first (privilege of seniority in
the field of SLA, not necessarily age).  Note that the other three are
alphabetical (Kathleen Bardovi-Harlig always is listed as B).  Again, the
rules for the book are set by the authors themselves, and the journal has
to abide by that.
