CALL FOR PAPERS


Special Issue: "Language Research in the Pacific-Asia Region"

http://hiplab.newcastle.edu.au/pacific/language/

South Pacific Journal of Psychology

http://hiplab.newcastle.edu.au/pacific/

Language Editorial Group:

Max Coltheart (Behavioural Science, Macquarie)
Malti Patel (Computing, Macquarie)
Marcus Taft (Psychology, New South Wales)
Paul Watters (Psychology, Newcastle).


On behalf of the editorial board of the South Pacific Journal of
Psychology, the Language Editorial Group is soliciting contributions
for a special issue, Volume 10(2), on language research in the
Pacific-Asia region.  The high density of indigenous and
non-indigenous languages spoken and written in the Pacific-Asia region
makes it a fertile area for language research, especially in
psycholinguistics and sociolinguistics.  In addition, important
advances in more general areas of language processing and linguistics,
such as the computer modelling of language, are increasingly being
made in the Pacific-Asia region.  This special issue is intended as an
inter-disciplinary showcase for research on all aspects of language
being conducted in the region.  All submissions will be peer-reviewed.
The special issue will also be technologically innovative, with both
paper and full-article electronic formats available to subscribers.

Papers should be written in APA style, doubled spaced, and submitted
in triplicate to:

Paul A. Watters
Department of Computing
School of Mathematics, Physics, Computing and Electronics
Macquarie University NSW 2109
AUSTRALIA

Alternatively, manuscripts prepared in text, Adobe Postscript or
Acrobat, or Microsoft Word format can be submitted electronically to
pwatters at mpce.mq.edu.au using an appropriate encoding format (UUencode
or metamail).

The deadline for submission is 31st August, 1998, with the special
issue available in November/December, 1998.
