Subject: Editorial Change JB Bookseries Issues in Hispanic and Lusophone Linguistics


As of Volume 46 Rajiv Rao (University of Wisconsin-Madison) will
succeed Megan Solon (Indiana University), and join Patricia Amaral
(Indiana University) as editor of the bookseries Issues in Hispanic
and Lusophone Linguistics.
Romance linguists are by definition not only aligned with their
theoretical paradigm (e.g. usage-based sociolinguists to generative
grammarians), but rather there is a sense of a larger community to
which all Romance linguists belong by virtue of the languages studied.
Spanish and Portuguese are two of the top ten most widely spoken
languages in the world. They are by far the largest two in the Romance
family of languages in terms of number of speakers. It is fair to say
that there is a strong sub-community of Romance linguists also aligned
by virtue of their research foci on Spanish and Portuguese. Beyond
providing high quality work applicable to the linguistic sciences in
general, the aforementioned community of Hispanic and Lusophone
linguists is precisely the audience to which we believe this book
series will appeal to the most.
The aim of this book series is to provide a single home for the
highest quality monographs and edited volumes pertaining to Hispanic
and Lusophone linguistics. In an effort to be as inclusive as
possible, the series hopes to include volumes that represent the many
sub-fields and paradigms of linguistics that do high quality research
targeting Iberian Romance languages. We seek projects pertaining to
all dialects in the world where these languages (co-)exist (e.g.
Europe, South and North America, Africa) as well as projects on the
acquisition of these languages anywhere Spanish and Portuguese are
acquired in childhood or adulthood. Because our goal is to consider
manuscripts from all relevant linguistic approaches, the common thread
across the books within this series will be the languages themselves.
Although we anticipate that the majority of the books will focus on
Spanish and Portuguese, for obvious reasons, we would like to
encourage book proposals that engage other Iberian-Romance languages
in Europe (e.g., Galician, Catalan, Aragonese, etc.) and/or examine
Spanish and Portuguese in their co-existence with other non-Romance
languages in Europe (e.g. Basque), indigenous languages in Latin
America, English in North America, and other national and regional
languages across the Hispanic and Lusophone world. Projects that
engage several of these languages together are especially welcome. We
will consider proposals that focus on formal syntax, semantics,
morphology, phonetics/phonology, pragmatics from any established
research paradigm, as well as psycholinguistics, language acquisition,
historical linguistics, applied linguistics and sociolinguistics.
Please note that proposals for conference proceedings will not be
considered, however proposals for strong thematic collections are
welcome. The editorial board is comprised of experts in all of the
aforementioned fields.
