The Southwest Journal of Linguistics is renewing its call for manuscripts.
The journal publishes papers, written in either Spanish or English, across
a broad range of topics in linguistics, though essays and research papers
dealing with the languages of the southwestern United States and northern
Mexico are especially encouraged. The journal also publishes scholarly
reviews of the literature, book reviews, and occasional commentary on
topics of concern to the journal's readership. Each 240-page volume of the
journal is published in two numbers, one in June and one in December.
The June 1999 issue of the journal, now in press, includes an essay on
'public linguistics' written by Robert D. King, an article on the use of
the ingressive airstream in women's speech in Tohono O'odham written by
Jane Hill and Ofelia Zepeda, a cognitive grammar analysis of two Korean
motion verbs written by Jeong-Hwa Lee, an analysis of taboo words in
southern California written by Rong Chen, a treatment of epistemic and
evidential modality written by Ferdinand de Haan, and a sociolinguistic
study of Spanish in El Paso, Texas, written by Joseph Weyers. The issue
also includes seven book reviews.
