                        CALL FOR PAPERS
 
        TIES - Tocharian and Indo-European Studies
                Founded by Joerundur Hilmarsson
                        Edited by
        Georges Pinault - Klaus T. Schmidt - Werner Winter
                        Assisted by
                L.Isebaert (Bibliographical Editor) and
                Jens Elmegaard Rasmussen (Executive Editor)
 
In persuance of a congressional decision made at the Tocharian
Colloquy held by the Indogermanische Gesellschaft at Saarbruecken
in October 1995, a new editorial board has been formed with the
objective to issue the journal _Tocharian and Indo-European
Studies_ (TIES) which was discontinued by the untimely death of its
founder Joerundur Hilmarsson in 1992.
        Explorations into the possibility of continuing the journal on
Icelandic hands having proved negative, the plan is now to bring out
the journal in Copenhagen in a shape and at a price not too much out of
comparison with its earlier policy. Due to old and sentimental
connections between Iceland and Denmark, it just may be realistically
hoped that the Danish government will allot the necessary fundings to
the project. An indispensable condition, however, is that there exist a
full manuscript of the first volume by October 1st of this year.
Therefore, authors are urged to send manuscripts for publication in
TIES, Vol.7 as soon as possible, and not later than August 1st, if need
be in preliminary form to allow a final touch to be given during the
last weeks available for the editorial preparations. This is admittedly
a very tight schedule, but we feel it is in everybody's interest that we
seize the present opportunity rather than wait for the next chance which
is a whole year later. And indeed, the lack of the journal just may have
led to an accumulation of ready or semi-ready papers for which the
proper outlet can now be provided.
   You will be doing a great favour to the community of Tocharian and
Indo-European studies and a continued tribute to the memory of Joerundur
Hilmarsson by sending a paper to the address printed below. If you can,
please help us in the process by adding a diskette; you will cause the
least amount of problems by using WordPerfect 5.1, but most systems can
be handled, and anything is helpful. If you indicate an e-mail or fax
address, the executive editor can give you the board's decision on your
paper within two or three weeks. The typographical appearance of the
volume will be slightly standardized, but as a matter of principle the
choice of textual organization is free. What we need now, is the papers
themselves, we can do aesthetics later.
   We strongly appeal to scholars in and around the intersection of
Tocharian and Indo-European studies to receate the important journal
that TIES used to be. This is a job that deserves to be done, and
together we can do it.
