Preparation and Dissemination of Abstracts and Full Translations of Selected Contents of East European Journals Concerned with Applied Linguistics. Final Report.
Adam Mickiewicz Univ. in Poznan (Poland).; Center for Applied Linguistics, Arlington, VA.
The Center for Applied Linguistics, in Cooperation with Adam Mickiewicz University, Poznan, Poland, undertook to cover experimentally, for a period of 18 months, foreign language Journal material on applied linguistics published in Central and Eastern Europe and to select for abstracting, and in some cases, translation, articles of particular interest to American linguists, language scholars and educators. Since a serious information gap has existed in this area, that is, articles appearing in Central and East European journals are seldom written in, or translated into, English, American scholars and educators have been unable to follow or benefit from much of the research carried out by scholars in Central and Eastern Europe. This has led on occasion to an unnecessary duplication of research efforts. Over a period of 18 months, 166 journals were scanned, and a total of 554 abstracts (appended to this report) were prepared and submitted to an advisory panel for evaluation. On the basis of the panel's evaluation, 88 articles were selected for full translation. The full translations of these 88 articles have been placed with the National Translations Center of the John Crerar Library in Chicago. This report provides a list of the articles and journals included in the project. The abstracts appended to the report are grouped by country. (Author/CFM)
