Essex Research Reports in Linguistics

Essex Research Reports in Linguistics present ongoing research activities of the members of the Department of Language and Linguistics.

The main purpose of the reports is to provide a quick publication outlet. The reports have pre-publication status. The contents, form and distribution of the reports lie in the hands of the authors, and copyright remains with the author(s) of the reports. Most of the reports will subsequently appear in revised form as research articles in professional journals or in edited books. If you require extra copies of earlier issues of ERRL, please contact the author(s) directly. Mostly you will find their email addresses on the People in the Department webpage. On-line versions of recent ERRL papers are available by clicking on the highlighted titles.
