[Thomas Stolz]

Dear all,

 

this is only to meant to tell you that STUF has an issue entitled USING THE
WORLD ATLAS OF LANGUAGE STRUCTURES (guest-edited by Michael Cysouw) on its
schedule (as far as I remember, it should be out soon as no. 3 this year).
Nevertheless, I am convinced that the topic has enough on offer for two
journals to devote an issue to it.

 

Regards,

 

Thomas Stolz

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.
