Letter from the Guest Editors, Ali Fatemi and Harold Welsch

The 2003 meetings of the Academy of Entrepreneurial Finance Conference were held on the campus of DePaul University in Chicago, Illinois, April 30-May 2, 2003. The conference brought together a large number of academics, practitioners and policy makers from around the world. It accomplished its goal of bringing together those engaged in the scholarly investigation of entrepreneurial finance and practitioners and other professionals of the field. The conference provided for a forum to share the results of research, acquire state of the art information, and exchange ideas on a variety of topics. These included the entrepreneurial investment decision, the financing process, IPOs, access to capital through the public sector, the teaching of entrepreneurial finance, and venture capital. Reflecting the overall orientation of the conference, luncheon keynotes emphasized both the practical and the academic sides of the debate. James Malackowski, the CEO of Duff & Phelps Capital Partners, on the first full day of the conference, and Professor Steven Kaplan of the University of Chicago, on the second day, shared some extremely valuable insights and results with the participants. Further enriching the conference were other keynote speeches delivered by Bret Maxwell of MK Capital, and James Stancill of the University of Southern California. In our assessment, the conference was a huge success. It would not have been so had it not been for the support of the board of the Academy of Entrepreneurial Finance, including Jacky So, Rassoul Yazdipour, Chunchi Wu, Allan Young, Charles Ou, Andrew Zacharakis, Jerome Osteryoung, and G. Geoffrey Booth. As the co-chairs of the conference, we remain indebted for their support

Sociolinguistic variation in morphological productivity in eighteenth-century English

Special Issue: How do corpus-based techniques advance description and theory in English historical linguistics?, Guest Editors: Martin Hilpert and Hubert CuyckensThis paper presents ongoing work on Säily and Suomela’s (2009) method of comparing type frequencies across subcorpora. The method is here used to study variation in the productivity of the suffixes -ness and -ity in the eighteenth-century sections of the Corpora of Early English Correspondence and of the Old Bailey Corpus (OBC). Unlike the OBC, the eighteenth-century section of the letter corpora differs from previously studied materials in that there is no significant gender difference in the productivity of -ity. The study raises methodological issues involving periodization, multiple hypothesis testing, and the need for an interactive tool. Several improvements have been implemented in a new version of our software.Peer reviewe

Letter from the Editor

In this issue, Tatiana Cevallos describes her journey from Ecuador to the United States and her journey of faith development and how those journeys influence her work as a teacher educator at a Christian Institution of Higher Education (IHE). Geoff Beech explores the intersection of Christian belief with secular constructs and philosophies, examining how Christian teacher educators navigate these intersections with confidence and grace. Marion Shields and David Bolton report the findings of a five-year study, revealing the attitudes of teacher candidates at an Australian Christian IHE toward students with disabilities. In addition to these three pieces, our editorial team asked two authors of past essays that have been well received by our readership over the years to provide an update to their original essays. Nyaradzo Mvududu examines the command of Jesus that we love others and what the implications are for working with a culturally diverse student population. David Anderson examines the notion of servant leadership from a Christian point of view
