Submit your essay electronically using the ADD YOUR CONTRIBUTION
NOW link below at any time between now and the end of November,
1998. Only electronic submissions will be included. After a brief
screening, your contribution will be made accessible on the public
Chomsky Celebration site, which you can view via the View
Contributed Essays link on the main page.
THINGS TO BEAR IN MIND
1. The Editors will be screening submissions only for appropriateness
of topic and tone, but not for merit of content or style, or
for opinions expressed. We anticipate a great flowering of superb
short papers, without editorial intervention. The electronic format
means there will be no limit on the number of contributions. Everyone
who wishes may submit. Rejections are not anticipated.
2. If your contribution contains complex elements such as tables,
linguistic symbols, language trees, equations, footnotes, or image
files, please ensure that all the appropriate HTML coding is included
in the text you submit. All image files so sourced should be sent by
anonymous ftp to mitpress.mit.edu. You must notify Marney Smyth if you transfer
any files in this manner, and you will need to identify the file
names, and the location in the text where links to the files are to be
placed.
3. Maximum contribution length would be five to 10 pages (2,000 to
4,000 words), a legitimate scholarly piece of work in your field, such
as might be published in a journal, but, if possible, beginning with a
citation of an idea of Noam's which has influenced your own work, and
which you have expanded, developed, modified, or used as a foundation
for new proposals. We do ask that you please avoid mere birthday
greetings, silly titles, grinding of old axes, mean-minded attacks on
anyone or anything, and book length treatises.
