RICE WORKING PAPERS IN LINGUISTICS, VOLUME 4
FINAL CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS
DEADLINE: Friday, December 14, 2012

Rice Working Papers in Linguistics is currently soliciting submissions 
for its fourth volume. Please see the guidelines below and consider 
submitting your work to the editors at <rwpl at rice.edu>.

===============

Rice Working Papers in Linguistics (RWPL; ISSN 1944-0081) is a refereed, 
open-access online publication of the Rice Linguistics Society, with 
support from the Department of Linguistics at Rice University in 
Houston, TX.

RWPL publishes working papers and squibs that emphasize functional, 
usage-based approaches to the study of language. The publication focuses 
on issues related to empirical aspects of linguistics. To that end, we 
especially welcome methodological and ethical discussions, 
sociolinguistic and areal survey reports, field reports, and project 
post-mortems. Presentations of intriguing or difficult data, 
particularly ones that merit further research, are also encouraged.

With the exception of ESL/TESOL and speech-language pathology, 
submissions in almost all subfields of linguistics will be considered 
for publication. Acceptable subfields include, but are not limited to 
cognitive/ functional linguistics, documentary and descriptive 
linguistics, language revitalization, sociolinguistics (including 
sociophonetics), discourse and corpus linguistics, language typology and 
universals, language change and grammaticalization, laboratory phonetics 
and phonology, language processing, and psycholinguistics.

Information about past volumes of the working papers is available at 
<http://rls.rice.edu/rwpl/>.
