Guest Editors’ Note

Abstract

This issue of Acta Linguistica Academica contains five papers which were "overspill" from number 4 of Acta Linguistica Hungarica volume 63 (2016), but because of space limitations could not be included there. The slight "skip" between the two issues was due to the special issue (volume 64, number 1), which heralded the new name of the journal and its change in aims and focus. All five of the papers were originally presented at the 1st Budapest Linguistics Conference (BLINC) in June 2015. The five papers are: Gábor Alberti, Judit Farkas and Veronika Szabó, 'HATNÉK-nominalization: Two subtypes of a highly verbal Hungarian deverbal nominalization'; Tamás Biró, 'Uncovering structure hand in hand: Joint Robust Interpretive Parsing in Optimality Theory'; Mojmír Dočekal, 'Upper bounded and unbounded "no more"'; Ángel L. Jiménez-Fernández and Bożena Rozwadowska, 'On subject properties of datives in psych predicates: A comparative approach', and Branimir Stanković, 'DP and mandatory determiners in article-less Serbo-Croatian'. We would like to thank all the anonymous reviewers for their work in improving the submitted papers. Also we would like to express our gratitude to the editors of Acta Linguistica Hungarica/Academica for letting us borrow their journal for publishing these BLINC papers. Special thanks go to Katalin É. Kiss and Zoltán G. Kiss for their experience and help in completing this task.
