Stanford Encyclopedia
of Korean Linguistics
Statement of Purpose
The Stanford Encyclopedia of Korean Linguistics is a dynamic encyclopedia set up to provide up-to-date and integral information on Korean linguistics. Each entry provided in the Encyclopedia is maintained and kept current by an expert or group of experts in the field (the authors are given direct electronic access to a copy of their entry). Unlike static reference works that are fixed on the printed page or on CD-ROM and which often become outdated soon after they are published, this reference work is responsive to new research, for it changes asynchronously with the addition of new entries and the modification of existing entries. (You can, however, cite fixed editions which are made and archived on a quarterly basis.) Moreover, the entries and subsequent updates are refereed by the members of a distinguished Editorial Board before they are put online. Whenever an author uploads a new entry or modifies an existing entry, the new material is stored off-line until it is approved by the Editorial Board member in charge of that entry.
(The Stanford Encyclopedia
of Korean Linguistics is modeled after the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy,
which can be found at http://plato.stanford.edu.)
Editorial Information
The Stanford Encyclopedia
of Korean Linguistics is a dynamic reference work and is a publishing project
of the Center for the
Study of Language and Information (CSLI) at Stanford University. The concept
of a dynamic reference work was implemented in the design of
the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy by Edward N. Zalta.

All editorial decisions concerning the Encyclopedia, including decisions concerning its content, format and distribution, are made by the Editor/Associate Editor in consultation with the Board of Editors. The members of the Board of Editors are selected in consultation with the Encyclopedia's Advisory Board. The Advisory Board also advises the Editor on the basic policies governing the operation of the Encyclopedia. Contributions to the Encyclopedia are normally solicited by invitation from a member of the Board of Editors. However, qualified potential contributors may send an inquiry to an appropriate member of the Editorial Board containing an entry proposal and a description of their qualifications. Those persons who have published refereed works on the proposed entry are qualified to submit proposals. By `refereed works' we mean either articles in respected, refereed journals or books which have been published by respected publishing houses and which have undergone the usual peer review process prior to publication. Notes in newsletters, proceedings, unpublished dissertations, etc., do not count as such. However, if a member of our Board of Editors is familiar with the work of the potential contributor, the latter may be certified as qualified. The Board of Editors reserves the right to compare the qualifications of the person submitting the unsolicited request with those of other potential authors who might naturally come to mind for the entry in question.
Readers of the Encyclopedia are also encouraged to contact authors directly with comments, corrections, and other suggestions for improvements. It remains the responsibility of authors to maintain their entries and to keep them current.
Authors are expected: (1) to update their entries regularly, especially in response to important new research on the topic of the entry, and (2) to revise their entries in a timely way in light of any valid criticism they receive, whether it comes from the subject editors on our Editorial Board, other members of the profession, or interested readers. In connection with (1), authors should update the Bibliography and Other Internet Resources sections of their entries regularly, to keep pace with significant new publications, both in print and on the web. In connection with (2), the validity of criticism shall be determined by the Editor, typically in consultation with the relevant members of the Editorial Board. The length of time required for a "timely" revision will be negotiable and will both respect the author's current commitments and reflect the seriousness of the criticism. However, entries which require revision but which are not revised within the negotiated timetable may be retired from the active portion of the Encyclopedia and left in the Encyclopedia Archives until such time as the entry is revised so as to engage the valid criticisms in question.

Stanford Encyclopedia of Korean Linguistics
Guidelines and Policies
In this document,
we develop guidelines and policies concerning the content of entries written
for the Stanford Encyclopedia of Korean
Linguistics (adapted from the guidelines for the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy).
* Entry Substance,
Style and Length
* Submitting Your Entry in PDF
* Entry Format
* Entry Revision
* The Use of Footnotes
Overview: The Stanford Encyclopedia of Korean Linguistics is intended to serve as an authoritative reference work suitable for use by professionals and students in the field of linguistics, as well as by all others interested in discussions on topics in Korean linguistics. It will provide the state-of-the-art knowledge of the linguistic study of Korean language, serving as an important resource for researchers in the field. Entries should therefore be written with the highest of professional standards, and be of interest to as wide an audience as possible.
General Requirements: We expect a short article that provides an integrative account of a subfield within the linguistic study of Korean. You should consider the balance between linguistic theory and Korean data. You should pitch your article to a level comparable to articles already published in similar prestigious encyclopedias and handbooks in related fields.
Specifications:
We are providing two sample articles from the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy
(http://plato.stanford.edu/contents-unabridged.html)
for your reference. The entries on "Language and Thought" (http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/language-thought/)
and "Connectionism":
(http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/connectionism/) are two good linguistics-related
examples of entries that would be editorially acceptable for the Stanford Encyclopedia
of Korean Linguistics.
All entries should provide objective, neutral analyses or surveys of particular topics, rather than promoting idiosyncratic or controversial points of view. Authors should see their task as one of offering a broad or insightful perspective that introduces both the topic and the literature and puts the reader into position to read the primary and secondary sources cited in the entry. (To this end, the sources of all quotations should be clearly identified.) Clarity of substance and style should also be one of the most important goals.
Encyclopedia entries
should therefore not be polemical. Controversial claims should be identified
as such. Authors should not use the first
person pronoun "I", and should avoid such constructions as "as
I have argued elsewhere/previously...". In addition, authors should not
cite
or refer to unpublished or inaccessible materials, and in particular, to unpublished
dissertations or talks. Authors should also be circumspect in the number of
references to their own work, though obviously, since they are experts on the
topic and typically will have written widely on it, occasional references will
be in order and appropriate. The editors of the Encyclopedia will ensure that
entries do not overstep the bounds of propriety in this regard.
Length:
The length of entries should depend on the topic. Entries should typically be
7,000-8,000 words (including tables, figures, or references), but may be shorter
or slightly longer in length depending on the focus of the topic and how much
literature there is to introduce and explain. Entries much longer than this
may be difficult to download. If overly detailed, highly technical, or highly
scholarly material is needed to facilitate the understanding of an entry, we
encourage authors to propose new entries as needed to supplement their entries.
In essence, your article should provide a roadmap to researchers and students
on the subfield of your research expertise.
All new entries
proposals will be reviewed by the Editorial Board to determine inclusion in
the Encyclopedia. The main entry should be
readable by an intelligent undergraduate in a sitting of about an hour or two.
Creating a PDF
Due to the large number of phonetics symbols, tree diagrams, and AVMs, all entries
should be formatted in an appropriate typesetting
program, like LaTeX, or word processing program. From this copy, a Portable
Document Format (PDF) should be produced. The PDF should be optimized for the
screen, unencrypted, and set for either 8.5x11in or A4 paper. All fonts should
be embedded. If the entry is formatted with LaTeX or TeX, the interim PostScript
file should be created with PostScript (Type 1) fonts and not the default Type
3 fonts. All entries should be previewed on Acrobat 3.0 and higher before submission.
The file should be both readable on screen and legible
when printed on a 600dpi printer.
Entry Format
In general, your article should contain the following components:
Overview: The overview/introduction should contain a brief definition of the
subject. This may take one or two paragraphs, and if possible,
these paragraphs should contain some statement of the subject's interest and
significance. The main topics to be covered in the body of the entry may be
mentioned here, so that the reader will get some idea of what is to follow.
Main Sections:
The sectioning of the entry is at the discretion of
the author. However, we encourage authors to include methods and
results important researchers have used and obtained, including your own where
relevant

Related Entries.
Please list the names of the most important concepts
and linguists that occur in your entry. You are encouraged to propose new topics
as you see fit and as they relate to your entry. Each proposed entry will be
reviewed by the Editorial Board and added to
the Encyclopedia as appropriate.
Entry Revision
Because the Encyclopedia is designed to be a dynamic reference work, authors
are responsible for maintaining and periodically updating their entries. Specifically,
authors are expected: (1) to update their entries regularly, especially in response
to important new research on the topic of the entry, and (2) to revise
their entries in a timely way in light of any valid criticism they receive,
whether it comes from the subject editors on our Editorial Board, other members
of the profession, or interested readers.
In connection with (1), authors should update the References and the Other Internet Resources sections of their entries regularly, to keep pace with significant new publications, both in print and on the web. In connection with (2), the validity of criticism shall be determined by the Editor, typically in consultation with the relevant members of the Editorial Board. The length of time required for a "timely" revision will be negotiable and will both respect the author's current commitments and reflect the seriousness of the criticism. However, entries which require revision but that are not revised within the negotiated timetable may be retired from the active portion of the Encyclopedia and left in the Encyclopedia Archives until such time as the entry is revised so as to engage the valid criticisms in question.
Deadline for
the First Draft:
To speed up the process, we expect to have your first draft by August
30, 2002. Let us know if you cannot keep up with this
deadline.
