Editor’s Note

Welcome back for another issue!

We are proud to feature in addition to articles, as our readership has come to expect over the years, a number of reviews of (fairly) recent volumes of interest.  We invite comments on these, other reviews, squibs, short and longer articles on any linguistic topic deemed by the editor to be of interest to the field of general linguistics.  Your potential contribution should be emailed to us (akaye@fullerton.edu), or sent by regular mail (Dept. of English & Linguistics, California State University, Fullerton, CA 92634).  An editorial decision will be made as quickly as possible, usually within a month or less.

We wish our readers happy holidays and a good 2006 ahead!

Alan S. Kaye

Editor, CLN
