Current Approaches to Spanish and Portuguese Second Language Phonology
Edited by Timothy L. Face and Kimberly L. Geeslin
Submission deadline:  August 1, 2008

The sound system is often the most salient feature of second language
speech, especially to the non-specialist, yet it receives little
attention when compared to other areas of investigation within studies
of second language acquisition.  While studies of the acquisition of
the sound systems of Spanish and Portuguese by second language
learners date back as far as the beginnings of the field of modern
linguistics, and while studies within this area of linguistic inquiry
have continued ever since and appear to be growing in numbers, there
has never been a publication to unify this body of research.  This
volume aims to bring together the research of those whose fundamental
background may be in phonology, second language acquisition or both in
one place so that the areas of expertise, methodologies, and theories
of language of each group can inform each other.

The volume will also include an introductory chapter that highlights
the key accomplishments to date in these fields and outlines the
directions that future research might take, an author and keyword
index, and a conclusion that ties together the various research papers
included in the volume. This publication is an exciting opportunity
for scholars working on Spanish and Portuguese second language
phonology to come together and share their work in a forum designed to
highlight the latest, cutting-edge approaches.


Submission Information:

Please submit original research papers to be considered for inclusion
in the volume as Word or PDF files to <L2spanphon at gmail.com>.

For initial submissions, any reader-friendly format is acceptable.
Please keep the paper anonymous, with identifying information and
contact information included in the body of the e-mail.

Submission deadline:  August 1, 2008

All submissions will be peer reviewed.  We have contacted several
publishers and have multiple international publishers interested in
this
project.  Once a tentative table of contents is established based on
peer review of the initial submissions, a concrete proposal can be
submitted to publishers.  Subsequent to the initial round of peer
review solicited by the editors, the publisher may choose to solicit
additional reviews and will have the final say on whether each paper
will be included in the volume.
