*** apologies for cross-posting ***
I’m just passing on some news that I hope is of interest to readers of
liblicense-l.
Annual Reviews have just launched the Annual Review of Linguistics.
Adding what might be seen as a non-core subject to their list, is in
recognition that linguistic research has expanded and diversified into
nearly every possible area of language science, and the volume,
diversity, and quality of relevant publications have increased in
proportion. The journal will cover significant developments in the
field of linguistics, including phonetics, phonology, morphology,
syntax, semantics, pragmatics, and their interfaces and provide
articles that benefit both specialists and nonspecialists, experts and
students, teachers of introductory courses, and scholars in
neighbouring fields.
Complimentary online access to the first volume of the journal is
available until January 2016 at linguistics.annualreviews.org.
Full details in the Press Release below or online at
http://www.annualreviews.org/page/about/news-and-events#news; do get
in touch with me, or with Jenni at Annual Reviews (contact info given
at the end) if you need any more info.
Kind Regards
Charlotte

PRESS RELEASE
Annual Reviews Announces New Linguistics Journal
Palo Alto, CA—January 27, 2015. Annual Reviews, the not-for-profit
publisher that thoughtfully synthesizes critical research literature,
is delighted to announce the launch of the Annual Review of
Linguistics. This journal will cover significant developments in the
field of linguistics, including phonetics, phonology, morphology,
syntax, semantics, pragmatics, and their interfaces. The reviews will
synthesize advances in linguistic theory, sociolinguistics,
psycholinguistics, neurolinguistics, computational linguistics,
language acquisition, language change, biology and evolution of
language, typology, field linguistics, and language documentation, as
well as the application of linguistics in many domains.
The Annual Review of Linguistics is edited by Mark Liberman,
Christopher H. Browne Professor of Linguistics at the University of
Pennsylvania, and Barbara H. Partee, University Professor Emerita of
Linguistics and Philosophy at the University of Massachusetts–Amherst.
Professor Liberman explains, “The goal of the Annual Review of
Linguistics is to offer access to significant developments across our
increasingly diverse field, including all scientific approaches to the
study of speech, language, and communication, as well as significant
applications of linguistics in technology, medicine, law, education,
and public policy.” He adds, “Articles are written for an audience
that is centered on the core disciplines of academic linguistics,
including researchers, teachers, and students in all fields that are
concerned with the forms and functions of human language.” Professor
Partee commented, “Our mission is to provide articles that benefit
both specialists and nonspecialists, experts and students, teachers of
introductory courses, and scholars in neighboring fields.”
“Over the past few decades, linguistic research has expanded and
diversified into nearly every possible area of language science, and
the volume, diversity, and quality of relevant publications have
increased in proportion. Recognizing these changes, Annual Reviews has
decided to add linguistics to our distinguished catalog of systematic
examinations of current scientific literature,” notes Samuel Gubins,
President and Editor-in-Chief of Annual Reviews.
Professors Liberman and Partee are supported by a distinguished
Editorial Committee which includes: Stephen R. Anderson, Yale
University; J.K. Chambers, University of Toronto; Anne Cutler,
University of Western Sydney; Dan Jurafsky, Stanford University;
Manfred Krifka, Institut für deutsche Sprache und Linguistik
Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin and Joan Maling, National Science
Foundation.
Complimentary online access to the first volume of the journal is
available until January 2016 at linguistics.annualreviews.org.
