Working with WALS

The Editorial Board of LT invites those who have been using and 
working with The World Atlas of Language Structures (now online at 
http://wals.info/) to write up their views on its strengths and 
weaknesses (with the focus on the entire WALS concept or on WALS's 
coverage of individual features, languages, or areas) and on the 
possibilities and limitations of this tool for typology and to submit 
such critically-constructive papers for possible publication in LT.

Conciseness will be appreciated by LT's Editorial Board when 
selecting the papers to be published.  However crisp, comments like 
"Fantastic resource, thanks" or "Abkhaz having only a small consonant 
inventory sounds wrong to me, to my knowledge that should be large" 
should not be submitted to LT, though:  send these to WALS's own 
Newsblog.

Deadline for submissions is 1 August 2008.
