Squibs are short commentaries that bring attention to a new data
set or explore a specific theoretical or methodological point.
A squib should address one or more of the following points:
- Empirical phenomena that challenge accepted generalizations;
- Empirical phenomena that are problematic for some aspect of a theory
or method;
- Empirical phenomena that confirm predictions of a theory in an area
where the theory has not previously been tested;
- Empirical phenomena that fall outside the scope of any existing theory
or method;
- Inconsistencies in a theory or method;
- Inconsistencies in a set of frequently adopted theoretical or methodological
assumptions;
- Unnoticed assumptions underlying a theory or method;
- Supplementary assumptions that a theory needs in order to make desired
predictions;
- Little-known or forgotten literature that discusses issues of immediate
theoretical or methodological relevance.
Squib manuscripts should be no more than 12 pages long (double-spaced,
1-inch margins, Times 12-point font).
They can be submitted by e-mail to Ileana Paul (ileana@uwo.ca),
Squibs Editor, Canadian Journal of Linguistics.
*In your e-mail, indicate which point(s) the squib address, and
provide complete contact information (mailing address, telephone number,
