	STUDIES IN PRAGMATICS Series edited by Bruce Fraser , Boston University, USA Kerstin Fischer , University of Southern Denmark, Sonderborg, Denmark Maj-Britt Mosegaard Hansen , University of Manchester, UK Description The Studies in Pragmatics series is dedicated to publishing innovative, authoritative monographs and edited collections from all micro-, macro- and metapragmatic linguistic perspectives. Rooted in the interdisciplinary spirit of the Journal of Pragmatics, it welcomes not only book proposals from linguistics proper but also pragmatically-oriented proposals from neighboring disciplines such as interactional sociology, language philosophy, communication science, social psychology, cognitive science, and information science. The goal of the series is to provide a widely read and respected international forum for high quality theoretical, analytical, and applied pragmatic studies of all types. By publishing leading edge work on natural language practice, it seeks to extend our growing knowledge of the forms, functions, and foundations of human interaction. History and Future The first issue of the Journal of Pragmatics was published 26 years ago. Since then, the field of pragmatics has expanded constantly and the Journal has expanded with it, growing from a modest 400-page per year quarterly in 1978 to a thriving 2000-page per year monthly in 2003, averaging more than 100 article downloads daily. With its global network of authors, advisors, and referees, and a large reservoir of faithful readers, the Journal of Pragmatics supports the aim of Studies in Pragmatics to become the international book series for quality scholarship on topics of pragmatic interest in the coming years. In keeping with this aim, the editorial board of Studies in Pragmatics has been carefully chosen to reflect the theoretical, methodological, and generational structure of the field. A dynamic collective comprised of internationally recognized experts in the full spectrum of pragmatic interests, editors of many of today's leading pragmatic publications, and rising young talents in the field, the SiP Editorial Board is dedicated to remaining in touch with pragmatic tradition while encouraging studies of all types committed to deepening the foundations of pragmatics and helping to forge its future. Submitting a Manuscript to Studies in Pragmatics 1. If you have, or expect to have, a manuscript that you wish to publish with Studies in Pragmatics, contact either one of the Series Editors, Bruce Fraser bfraser@bu.edu , Kerstin Fischer fischer@informatik.uni-hamburg.de or Maj-Britt Mosegaard Hansen Maj-Britt.MosegaardHansen@manchester.ac.uk , or the Elsevier Linguistics Acquisitions Editor from the list at: http://www.elsevier.com/wps/find/authorsview.authors/contactadresses , who will send you the author questionnaire. If you prefer, you may complete our 'generic' online proposal submission form at: http://books.elsevier.com/language/?maintarget=proposal.asp . 2. The author questionnaire comprises questions about the topic of your manuscript, expected length, prospective audience etc. Complete the questionnaire and return it by email to one of the above-mentioned people. 3. The series editors will then discuss the suitability of your manuscript for Studies in Pragmatics. If it is suitable, one of the series editors will volunteer to take care of the further process, and you will be asked to submit the following: - for a monograph, those parts of the book that you consider representative of your book. - for an edited volume, the introduction plus three sample chapters of the collection. 4. Your proposal is then sent out for review to two anonymous reviewers. 5. If all goes well, the series editor in charge of your volume will then request a contract from Elsevier. Upon approval from Elsevier, a contract will be issued and the Elsevier Acquisitions Editor will discuss with you directly the terms and conditions including royalties and preparation of the manuscript (typeset v. CRC). Should the evaluation indicate that the manuscript is in need of revision, the designated series editor will work with you to determine what should be done. 6. The definitive manuscript should be submitted to the designated series editor, who will then review it. 7. After review and approval, the manuscript is submitted to Elsevier and prepared for publication. Please note that the procedure outlined is designed to ensure a maximally quick processing of your manuscript. However, in order to ensure the quality of edited volumes, we are asking you to adhere to the following: Guidelines for Edited Volumes We ask you to pay particular attention to the coherence of your volume. One way of doing so is to make all draft versions of the contributions to the volume, as well as the introduction, available to the contributors for discussion and mutual reference, on an access-restricted web site or via e-mail. The volume editors may initiate an e-mail discussion among the contributors, encouraging the authors to address the focal points of the volume. The joint discussion ideally leaves traces both in the introduction to the collection and in the individual contributions. It may also be helpful to ask all contributors to address explicitly certain aspects of the problem area in their papers, such as questions of definition, problem statements, and the like. Volume editors may, of course, choose whichever means they deem appropriate to ensure the coherence of their volumes. It will, however, constitute a very important aspect in the evaluation of the suitability of the volume for Studies in Pragmatics whether volume editors can show that the whole collection is more than the sum of its parts.
