The goal of this section is to use the journal to make on-going projects more widely known and, along the way, assist the compilers by providing sample materials to the expert public for observation and commentary. Samples are solicited from any linguistically-relevant reference work in progress - general purpose or specialized monolingual or multilingual dictionaries, encyclopedias , visual dictionaries, thesauri, linguistic or linguistically-related atlases, pronunciation guides, on-line materials, style guides, quotation dictionaries , even word lists, field notes, and single complex entries.

Proposals and suggestions for reference-work excerpts for future issues are encouraged and should be sent to the editor. Copyright foi these materials may be retained by the author(s). — WF ...
