University of Maryland Working Papers in Linguistics [UMWPiL]
The University of Maryland Department of Linguistics publishes a volume of collected papers approximately once per year. These volumes include work by students, faculty, graduates, visitors and post-doctoral students highlighting a portion of the research occurring in the department. We have produced sixteen volumes since 1993. Older volumes are available for purchase through mailorder, but beginning with Volume 14, we are converting to an entirely web-based publication, allowing free access to every one. Below you can find information regarding specific volumes and links to ordering information and instructions for authors.
