Stellenbosch Papers in Linguistics (SPIL) is published by the Department of General Linguistics of Stellenbosch University. Though many of the contributions take the form of working papers - presented for critical discussion - all have been subjected to review. Some of the papers appearing in SPIL may be published later in a revised or extended form elsewhere. Many of the contributors are people who have been associated with the department as staff members, visiting lecturers or senior students. The editors, however, will also consider for publication papers by scholars who are not associated in one of these capacities with the department. The copyright of each paper is held by its author.

SPIL Plus appears as a supplement to SPIL. The papers published in SPIL Plus are primarily intended for scholars with an interest in linguistics and related disciplines in Southern Africa. The SPIL Plus series has two main aims. Firstly, it serves as a vehicle for the distribution of new and relatively inaccessible information in the field of modern linguistics. Secondly, it aims to stimulate critical discussion in Southern African linguistics; for this reason, comments by readers are welcomed. This journal is distributed by order, mainly to South African readers. Contributions to SPIL Plus may be written in either English or Afrikaans.

The submission of contributions, comments on papers (in either English or Afrikaans) and signing up to the mailing list can be done online at http://spilplus.journals.ac.za/pub/author
