Foreword
Welcome to the first
edition of The Linguistics
Journal. It is our
pleasure to publish
four articles which
have gone through a
rigorous editorial procedure.
I would like to thank
those authors and editors
who have in the last
few months worked hard
together to attain a
standard of which we
are proud. I especially
use the word "together"
because there is a strong
ethos in this Journal
of editors and authors
working together in
collaboration. This
has been the policy
at Asian EFL Journal
and will continue to
be so at The Linguistics
Journal.
The opening op.ed. article
published in this first
edition has been written
by Dr. Roger Nunn, from
The Petroleum Institute
in the UAE, an insightful
study of the practical
use of pragmatics in
the EFL classroom. This
is an essential reminder
of the "applied"
nature of much of linguistics.
The second article comes
from Drs. Jamshidiha
and Marefat from the
University of Tehran
who look at first language
attrition among Persian
speakers of English,
comparing Persian monolinguals
with early and late
bilinguals. The third
article is from Dr.
Farood Sepassi and Mr.
Marzban at Azad University,
Shiraz who present a
fascinating quantitative
study of anaphor resolution.
Finally, Mr. Hamid Allami
from Yadz University,
Iran, investigates the
concept of "griping"
among Iranian students.
I hope you enjoy these
first four studies in
The Linguistics Journal.
We look forward to any
feedback you may have
and hope you will view
the site as a valuable
academic source. Your
own contributions are
always welcome.
