About book reviews, review stylesheet, book notices and recent publications
Himalayan Linguistics solicits book notices, recommendations of books for review, and notification of recent book-length publications. For our purposes, book-length works include monographs, edited volumes, conference proceedings, Ph.D. dissertations, and M.A. theses with direct relevance to the field of Himalayan linguistics. Older works – those that have been out more than a couple of years – will usually not be considered for review in the journal, except in situations where the editor should consider them to be significant and of interest to the readers of Himalayan Linguistics. Our primary goal is to provide an overview of recent books on Himalayan languages. However, books on general linguistics may be reviewed if they are judged to be of particular relevance to linguists working on Himalayan languages. Proposals for such reviews should be sent to the Review Editor.
Book reviews will be by invitation of the review editor. The journal recommends the length of book reviews to be around 2,000 words. Book notices, of approximately 500 words, may be submitted directly to the Review Editor. The journal recommends that book notices be written by those who are not directly involved in the production of the work described in the notice. Graduate students are especially encouraged to submit book notices. Reviews and book notices must be well-written, relevant and informative. Final authority on their publication rests with the Review Editor.
The review section also contains a listing of recent publications. Send in your suggestions for additions to this list (a full reference of each publication) to the Review Editor.
