CURRENT ISSUES IN LINGUISTIC THEORY E. F. K. Koerner, Editor Zentrum für Allgemeine Sprachwissenschaft, Typologie und Universalienforschung, Berlin efk.koerner@rz.hu-berlin.de Current Issues in Linguistic Theory (CILT) is a <strong>the</strong>ory-oriented series which welcomes contributions <strong>from</strong> scholars who have significant proposals to make towards <strong>the</strong> advancement of our understanding of language, its structure, functioning and development. CILT has been established in order to provide a forum for <strong>the</strong> presentation and discussion of linguistic opinions of scholars who do not necessarily accept <strong>the</strong> prevailing mode of thought in linguistic science. It offers an outlet for meaningful contributions to <strong>the</strong> current linguistic debate, and furnishes <strong>the</strong> diversity of opinion which a healthy discipline must have.
