new squibs section in Language Acquisition

[Carson T Schutze]

New Squibs and Replies Section in the journal Language Acquisition

The editors announce the creation of a Squibs and Replies section of
Language Acquisition.   This section is intended for short articles (no
longer than 12 double-spaced manuscript pages) and may include the
following:

(i)	Acquisition analyses that are fairly circumscribed and hence not
appropriate for lengthier journal articles.  These analyses may be on
specific acquisition phenomena, or adult grammar with a clear relevance to
a particular issue in acquisition.
(ii)	Replies to articles published in Language Acquisition. Note that
the original authors will have the final word.
(iii)	Observation of interesting data (experimental or naturalistic)
which are relevant to a particular acquisition theory or analysis.

We do not encourage compressed presentation of more elaborate analyses such
as may appear in conference proceedings, or articles which simply present
data without discussing their relevance to a particular theory or analysis.

Appropriate topics include first and second language acquisition as well as
developmental language disorders such as Specific Language Impairment.

Submission of squibs and replies should in general conform to the same
requirements as a regular journal article with the following exceptions.
The manuscript should not exceed 12 double-spaced pages including footnotes
and references, and excluding figures and tables. No abstract is required.

Submit three manuscript copies to Editors, Nina Hyams and Carson Schutze,
Squibs and Replies, UCLA, Department of Linguistics, 3125 Campbell Hall,
Box 951543, Los Angeles, CA 90095.
