| Jan 17, 2016 at 20:15 | comment | added | Javier Arias | Sorry if someone interprets this as marketing or so. That is not my intent. I just would like to talk privately to those interested in reading my paper, so that feedback can be transmitted also privately. Best regards. | |

| Jan 17, 2016 at 19:42 | comment | added | Javier Arias | The paper is NOT about quantitative analysis in the way in which linguists like to see it (statistical analysis of basic vocabulary, two tailed t-tests for significance of phonological acquisition by children and so on). It deals with Zellig Harris's view on sublanguages in a way which sheds some light in the history of the interplay between Noether's school and Structural Linguistics. Ia has quite a lot of maths in it, but it is not a quantitative paper as frequently understood in the field. | |

Meanwhile, the editor in chief od Computational Linguistics suggested me to submit it to Language, Logic and Information or else upload it at Arxiv. So now I am waiting for Professor Barsky's reaction and suggestion. If that does not work, Maybe I will give one more journal a chance or just move straight to Arxiv. I do not what this to become an aeternal issue. | |

Some other Professors also answered, like Lila Gleitman and, specially Robert Barsky, an expert on Zellig Harris, who is now the person I hope my help me with publishing the text. Out of all the answers I was encouraged to submit it to Linguistic Inquiry, which I did. That was the first Journal. The second was its sister publication Computational Linguitics. | |
| Jan 17, 2016 at 19:29 | comment | added | Javier Arias | Well, i was not thinking about providing too many details, but since you mention many journals I guess I should give a bit of info. I first submitted the paper privately to 5 professors in the US. One of them, Noam Chomsky, answered back some 10 days later or so, telling me, very concisely, that he found it very appealing and interesting, but that it was well beyond what he has worked on the topic (and on language). An former Professor of mine, Barbara Partee, gave me a more detailed response. with suggestions for corrections and so on,which I partly incorporated. | |
