FYI: Open Access Books: Konstanz-CSLI

As a result of a cooperation between Miriam Butt at the University of Konstanz and CSLI Publications we are in the process of making books previously published by CSLI Publications completely Open Access. The books so far mainly comprise words edited or written by Miriam Butt and Tracy Holloway King, but we are slowly expanding our efforts. The current collection of newly Open Access books can be found at: https://typo.uni-konstanz.de/csli-konstanz/index.html
