Garry Craig Powell of UCA’s Department of Writing has just had his short story “Kamila and the King of Kandy” accepted for publication by Red Wheelbarrow Literary Magazine.
Tim Thornes, assistant professor of linguistics in UCA’s Department of Writing, has had his paper ‘Historical Pathways in the Development of Complex Predicates in Northern Paiute’ accepted for publication as a chapter in the second volume of “New Challenges in Typology” to be published by Mouton de Gruyter (Berlin – New York) in early 2009. The goal of the volume, according to its editors, is to “promote an awareness of the theoretical relevance of typological and descriptive work.” The international solicitation was for papers by linguists who defended their dissertation between 2003 and 2006 in order to present recent work by scholars specializing in typology and language description–in particular, descriptions of lesser-known and endangered languages of the world.
