South Asia is home to a large number of languages and dialects. Although linguists working on
this region have made significant contributions to our understanding of language society and
language in society on a global scale there is as yet no recognized international forum for
the exchange of ideas amongst linguists working on South Asia.The Annual Review of South Asian
Languages and Linguistics is designed to be just that forum. It brings together empirical and
theoretical research and serves as a testing ground for the articulation of new ideas and
approaches which may be grounded in a study of South Asian languages but which have universal
applicability.Each volume will have three major sections:I. Invited contributions consisting of
state-of-the-art essays on research in South Asian languages.II. Refereed open submissions
focusing on relevant issues and providing various viewpoints.III. Reports from around the world
book reviews and abstracts of doctoral theses.
