Call Deadline: 01-Dec-2014 

Texts in Indigenous Languages of the Americas Series (formerly IJAL Native
American Texts Series)

Call for proposals

The International Journal of American Linguistics is pleased to announce the
relaunching of the Native American Texts Series under a new name, Texts in
Indigenous Languages of the Americas, which will take the form of an annual
supplement to the journal dedicated to the presentation of analyzed oral texts
from the indigenous languages of the Americas. We are now accepting proposals
for a guest-edited, thematically-organized collection of texts to appear as
part of the 2016 volume of the journal.

Issues in the series may be single-authored or edited multi-contributor
collections, and will have a print component of 200 pages (approximately 1,200
lines of analyzed text) as well as on-line PDF and HTML versions accompanied
by audio recordings. Texts will be presented in four-line interlinear glossing
following IJAL format (http://www.americanlinguistics.org/?page_id=93), and
must follow a uniform style throughout, including the use of a consistent set
of abbreviations. Preference will be given to texts for which recordings with
time-aligned transcripts can be provided. There is no restriction as to
subject matter, and texts from a variety of genres including myths, legends,
rituals, and personal narratives are welcome. 

Proposals should include: 
- A one to two page description of the volume, outlining and justifying the
unifying theme (language, language family, geographic area, subject matter),
the origins of the texts to be included, and the relevant experience of the
author/editor(s) with the language(s) involved
- A detailed table of contents
- The names and qualifications of other contributors (if relevant)

Where appropriate, contributors will be required to demonstrate that
appropriate permissions for the publication of these materials have been
obtained. Projected deadline for the manuscript would be July 2015.

Address proposals and inquiries via e-mail to ijal at press.uchicago.edu. Please
include ''TILA'' in the subject line. 

All proposals must be received by December 1, 2014.
