****************************

LT 13(2) is intended to come out in time for ALT 8, and in honour of  
the occasion will have lots of phonology.

And, every now and again, a reminder for intending contributors:
Remember that LT reviews submissions anonymously or non-anonymously,  
whichever authors prefer.  Most seem to prefer the latter, perhaps  
because they don't want to go to the considerable trouble of ensuring  
that expert reviewers, knowledgable about the field (and ours is a  
small field), won't recognise them.  Still, be aware that both options  
exist.
