About RAL
Research in Anthropology and Linguistics (RAL) was initially established in 1995, an outgrowth of Working Papers in Anthropology, Archaeology, Linguistics and Maori Studies (discontinued in 1990).
In 2005, two separate series were distinguished, RAL Monographs for longer contributions with significant theoretical and/or methodological contributions to the discipline and RAL-electronic (RAL-e) with a focus on disseminating substantive results and technical data.
RAL Monographs are peer-reviewed and intended as significant theoretical and/or methodological contributions to the discipline. Preference is given to research undertaken by staff and students of Anthropology and Applied Language Studies and Linguistics at The University of Auckland, but other manuscripts that deal with subjects of special interest to anthropologists are also considered.
The issues in each series are numbered consecutively as independent contributions and appear at irregular intervals.
