New Series Editors for Trends in Lang Acquisition Research

[Allen, Shanley]

John Benjamins Publishing is pleased to announce that Shanley E. M.
Allen (Boston
University) and Caroline F. Rowland (University of Liverpool) have
agreed to become the new series editors for Trends in Language
Acquisition Research (TiLAR).

Shanley Allen (PhD, McGill University) is an Associate Professor in
the School of Education at Boston University, USA. Her research
focuses on how the morphosyntactic structure of a language affects the
patterns of development in that language. She is best known for her
work on the acquisition of Inuktitut (Eskimo) as well as the
acquisition of argument structure and argument realization. She has
published numerous articles and chapters on language acquisition, and
has served for several years as Associate Editor of the Journal of
Child Language.

Caroline Rowland (PhD, University of Nottingham) is a senior lecturer
in the School of Psychology at the University of Liverpool, UK. Her
research focuses on the question of how children acquire their first
language, with the aim of developing and testing constructivist models
of the language acquisition process. She is best known for her work on
English children's acquisition of questions and auxiliaries and she
has written, edited and contributed to a number of books and journals
on first language acquisition.

TiLAR publishes monographs, edited volumes and text books on
theoretical and methodological issues in the field of child language
research. The focus of the series is on original research on all
aspects of the scientific study of language behavior in children,
linking different areas of research including linguistics, psychology
& cognitive science.

The editors welcome proposals for thematic collections and monographs,
focusing on work with a constructivist/non-generativist slant. TiLAR
wants to publish sound empirical work (including research monographs
based on PhD theses of an excellent standard) and to encourage debates
and discussions.

Shanley Allen and Caroline Rowland will be assisted by an editorial
board
consisting of:
Ruth Berman, Tel Aviv University
Morten Christiansen, Cornell University
Jean Berko Gleason, Boston University
Nancy Budwig, Clark University
Ewa Dabrowska, University of Sheffield
