Benjamins: New Co-editor for Studies in Language Companion Series (SLCS)

[Paul Peranteau]

New Co-editor for Studies in Language Companion Series (SLCS)

John Benjamins Publishing is pleased to announce that Elly van 
Gelderen (Arizona State University) has agreed to succeed Michael 
Noonan as co-editor of SLCS.
Elly van Gelderen is a syntactician, interested in language change. 
Her preference is  directed towards language typology in the 
following concrete sense: describing languages with a keen eye on 
universals or at least cross-linguistic generalizations

She is currently writing a book on the linguistic cycle where she 
shows how syntactic changes that occur over and over in different 
languages provide insight in the language faculty. They point towards 
Economy Principles that help a child acquire a language and analyze 
it in a different way from previous generations.

She is the author of six books, fifty or so articles/chapters, and 
has taught at ASU since 1995. She has degrees from Utrecht University 
and McGill and is the co-editor of Linguistics Today (John 
Benjamins). She is also on the board of Diachronica, The Journal of 
Germanic Linguistics, the Linguist List Advisory Board, and the South 
West Journal of Linguistics.

Elly van Gelderen 
(<mailto:ellyvangelderen at asu.edu>ellyvangelderen at asu.edu) will 
co-edit SLCS with Werner Abraham 
(<mailto:werner_abraham at t-online.de>werner_abraham at t-online.de).
