THE INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF THE LINGUISTIC
ASSOCIATION OF THE SOUTHWEST (LASSO)
Editorial Scope
Each 250-page volume of the Southwest Journal of Linguistics is published in
two numbers, one in June and one in December. The journal publishes papers across
a broad range of topics in linguistics, though 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. Proposals for thematic issues and nominations for guest editors
are invited.
Instructions for Contributors
Manuscripts are to be prepared according to the Language style sheet, published
annually in the December LSA Bulletin and available at the Southwest Journal
of Linguistics web site. In addition to meeting Language requirements, Southwest
Journal of Linguistics contributors should also
• Prepare manuscripts using Word, WordPerfect or another common word processing
program for PC or Mac. Follow Language guidelines for use of symbols.
• Submit three hard copies of the manuscript. Once a manuscript has been
accepted for publication, the revised manuscript must be submitted in both hard
copy and on diskette.
• Submit manuscripts in either English or Spanish.
• Include an abstract in English of between 100 and 150 words.
Given the comprehensive goal of the journal, attention is drawn particularly
to the Language style sheet provision that contributors provide the names and
addresses of appropriate referees.
