submissions requested

[Leila Monaghan]

Hi.

I'm currently the course director of a large Interpersonal
Communication course that draws heavily on work from Linguistic
Anthropology.  I am interested in submissions of articles for possible
use this coming fall in a locally printed course pack that I hope to
develop into a formal book.

I'm interested in unpublished work or work done in really obscure
journals with cheap release fees.  The ideal article would be:
--clearly written and accessible to a general audience,
--short (10-15 typescript pages),
--on a subject of interest to college freshmen and sophomores,
--refer to work by any of Horace Miner (the Nacerima); Michael Agar;
Richard Bauman; Benjamin Lee Whorf; Youssouf, Grimshaw & Bird
(Greetings in the Desert);  Dell Hymes (the SPEAKING model); Deborah
Tannen; Erving Goffman; Elinor Ochs & Bambi Schieffeli; or Penelope
Eckert (her high school work).
--would present primary data from fieldwork including conversation
analysis transcripts and observation and interview data.
--and would discuss the negotiated nature of language and
communication.

A well-written, slightly-longer-than-AAA-reading-length conference
paper might work quite for this purpose.

I would be happy to answer questions by e-mail (monaghan at indiana.edu)
or phone (610-529-0460).  I would appreciate a note of inquiry asap,
and then abstracts of papers or drafts of papers by February 14.  If
your abstract is accepted, papers would be due April 1.

cheers,

Leila
