Subject: International Journal of American Linguistics - "Texts in the Indigenous Languages of the Americas" (Jrnl)


Journal: International Journal of American Linguistics
Issue: Texts in the Indigenous Languages of the Americas

Call for Proposals
The Texts in the Indigenous Languages of the Americas series is an
annual supplement to the International Journal of American Linguistics
dedicated to the presentation of analyzed oral texts from the
indigenous languages of the Americas. TILA volumes are guest-edited,
thematically-organized collections of texts published as a supplement
to the April issue of IJAL and online on the IJAL website.
Issues in the series may be single-authored or edited
multi-contributor collections, and will have a print component of 200
journal-format (6" x 9") pages, approximately 1,200 lines of analyzed
text, as well as online PDF and HTML versions accompanied by audio
recordings. Texts will be presented in four-line interlinear glossing
following IJAL format (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 (e.g., 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
 • short (50–100 word) bios of the contributors
 • a short excerpt (5–10 pages) of analyzed text laid out in TILA page
format and style
(https://www.americanlinguistics.org/wp-content/uploads/TILA_template_and_style_guide.docx.zip
 • an assessment of how much work has been done on the project and
what remains to be done
 • confirmation that any necessary agreements about use of materials
are in place
Page formatting and other instructions can be found at
www.americanlinguistics.org/?page_id=707.
Where appropriate, contributors will be required to demonstrate that
appropriate permissions for the publication of these materials have
been obtained.
Address proposals and inquiries to ijal at press.uchicago.edu. Please
include “TILA” in the subject line.
