-----------------

Cadernos de Etnolingüística (ISSN 1946-7095) is a new, peer-reviewed, open-access online journal on South American languages.  It publishes original contributions on South American indigenous languages, including articles, reviews, squibs, and unpublished documents (or documents of heretofore limited circulation). Its main goal is to promote the exchange of ideas among researchers in the field, encouraging the discussion of particularly important topics and divulging recent advances in the study of the continent's indigenous languages. Editorial quality is assured by a peer-review process conducted by a qualified editorial board, constituted by linguists from a variety of theoretical orientations, geographic focuses, and institutional affiliations, all of which are actively involved in the analysis and documentation of South American languages.

Cadernos de Etnolingüística welcomes the submission of papers reporting on original (field, bibliographic, or both) research, descriptive or theoretical in nature, in all the subareas of our field; papers dealing with technical issues (best practices for electronic documentation, for instance) are particularly welcome. Each article is published as soon as it is approved by the editorial board, being assigned an individual issue number. Given its electronic nature, Cadernos de Etnolingüística recommends, whenever appropriate, the use of audio and video resources to illustrate the linguistic phenomena under discussion.  Details on the submission process
can be found at http://www.etnolinguistica.org/cadernos:about

Papers and notes published in our first volume (2009), dealing with historical, descriptive, and typological issues in both extinct and currently-spoken languages, illustrate well our journal's scope.  They can be downloaded at http://www.etnolinguistica.org/cadernos:issues

We, the editors, welcome any comments, suggestions, or queries on the submission process at the address editores at etnolinguistica.org

Sincerely,
