Language Relations across Bering Strait
Open Linguistics Series
Series Editor
Robin Fawcett, Cardiff University
This series is 'open' in two senses. First, it provides a forum for works
associated with any school of linguistics or with none. Most practising linguists
have long since outgrown the unhealthy assumption that theorizing about
language should be left to those working in the generativist-formalist
paradigm. Today large and increasing numbers of scholars are seeking to
understand the nature of language by exploring it in terms of the
communicative use of language in social contexts, or one or other of the
various cognitive models of language - and sometimes in a combination of the
two. Over the last few years this series has played a valuable part in re-
establishing the traditional 'openness' of the study of language, and we intend
to maintain this tradition. The series includes many studies that are in or on the
borders of various functional theories of language and especially (because it
has been the most widely used of these) Systemic Functional Linguistics.
However, the series continues to be open to all approaches, including works in
the generativist-formalist tradition.
The second way in which the series is 'open' is that it encourages studies that
open out 'core' linguistics in various ways: to encompass discourse and the
description of natural texts; to explore the relationships between linguistics and
its neighbouring disciplines such as psychology, sociology, philosophy, and
cultural and literary studies; and to apply these studies in fields such as
education, language pathology and law.
Relations between linguistics and artificial intelligence are covered in a sister
series,
Communication in Artificial Intelligence,
while works that are primarily
descriptive are published in a new series,
Functional Descriptions of Language.
