[Lingtyp] Edited volume

[Bakker, Dik]

Dear Sebastian, Paolo et al,.

The SLE is certainly a good place for such a discussion, but I fear that
the deadline for Naples has already gone by.

There are yearly SLE meetings, though, and the next one is in Zurich, September 2017.
One of the traditions is a round table, a plenary discussion with several presentations,
and 400+ people in the audience. Apart form that, a one or 1.5 day workshop is
possible as well.

Deadline for a workshop: 15/1/2017

Contact:

Chair of the local organization: Johannes Kabatek [kabatek at rom.uzh.ch]


SLE conference manager: Ana Díaz-Negrillo [sle at ugr.es]‎

Best,

Dik Bakker

Onderwerp: [Lingtyp] Edited volume

Dear list,
it has been suggested to compile a book about the topics raised in the
recent discussion. For a successful book, we have to identify the following:

- interested audience: OK. The lively discussion on this list proves
that the topic is of interest to many different people

- publisher: "Conceptual Foundations of Language Science" has been
suggested and the series editors Nick Enfield and Mark Dingemanse have
stated that such a volume would fit the series

- volume editors: this is less clear. I would suggest that there should
be at least one senior linguist among the editors. Everyone has a high
workload, and in my experience senior researchers find it easier to make
other people respect deadlines. YMMV.

- authors: it is not clear who among the participants intends to write a
paper

- topics: the papers should cover different strands of the discussion.
Ideally, papers should cross-reference each other but should not overlap
too much. It is unclear to me how this could be achieved.

- coherence: a clearly identified research question would help people
structure their argument

The topic is highly relevant, but it also rather novel. It might be a
good idea to have a workshop at one of the upcoming LSA/SLE/ALT to
arrive at a common ground and maybe descriptive apparatus for
formulating our ideas on the matter.
What do others think?
Best
Sebastian
