Journal of Asian Pacific Communication Vol.1 Howard Giles

Research into language issues and communication problems is investigated across a range of disciplines and appears in a wide diversity of published outlets. In addition, any linguistic and communication problems faced by Southeast Asian immigrants elsewhere in the world are also located in disparate contexts. This journal is the first real attempt to provide a forum for such widespread concerns to be published in the English Language. Initially each volume of the journal will consist of a single issue of approximately 250 pages. It is, however, expected that this will become a quarterly publication in the fourth or fifth year of publication. The first volume, will appear in early 1990. The second and third volumes will be special issues devoted to particular themes: volume 2, "The Economics of Language in the Asian Pacific" and volume 3,"Language and Identity".
