Description


The journal is devoted to the problems of general linguistics. Its aim is to present work of current interest in all areas of linguistics. Contributions are required to contain such general theoretical implications as to be of interest to any linguist, whatever their own specialisation.

No particular linguistic theories or scientific trends are favoured: scientific quality and scholarly standing are the only criteria applied in the selection of papers accepted for publication.

Lingua publishes papers of any length, if justified, as well as review articles surveying developments in the various fields of linguistics, and occasional discussions. A considerable number of pages in each issue are devoted to critical book reviews. Lingua also publishes Lingua Franca articles consisting of provocative exchanges expressing strong opinions on central topics in linguistics; The Decade In articles which are educational articles offering the nonspecialist linguist an overview of a given area of study; and Taking up the Gauntlet special issues composed of a set number of papers examining one set of data and exploring whose theory offers the most insight with a minimal set of assumptions and a maximum of arguments. Lingua also publishes themed special issues and has the facility to publish supplementary material online, for example, audio and video files.

A substantial part of the royalties for Lingua support the Lingua Scholarship, a graduate student position at the institution of the Executive Editor. This graduate student provides administrative assitance to Lingua during the preparation of his/her doctoral thesis.

We are pleased to announce that a new electronic submission and handling system, EES, has been implemented for Lingua. This 'Elsevier Editorial System' is a web-based system with full online submission, review and status update capabilities. EES allows you to upload files directly from your computer. We strongly encourage all authors to use EES at the following URL when submitting papers to the journal: External link http://ees.elsevier.com/lingua/. (First time users will need to register).
