Working Papers in Linguistics
The WPL is a journal created by doctoral students at the University of Mississippi, not only for graduate students at the University of Mississippi but also for graduate students at other universities who wish to publish about the exciting field of linguistics and its subfields (see the Aims and Scope). We believe that this journal benefits doctoral students by allowing them to publish their work. Probably the most valuable benefit will be fostering the students' understanding of the publishing process. We hope that the WPL encourages graduate students to write more and produce better academic papers and prepares them for the competition of publishing. We also believe that the journal will draw professors and doctoral students together, which will undoubtedly help create a cordial and friendly environment in which working together is motivating and enjoyable.
