Studies in Language (SL) provides a forum for the discussion of issues in contemporary linguistics, with a particular focus on empirically well-grounded research in the functionalist tradition that recognizes the diversity and variability of human languages and of communication patterns, the historical dynamics of languages, and the embedding of language in both social practices and cognition.
Studies in Language provides for three sections and types of contributions:
- Regular articles: Regular articles are expected to adopt a cross-linguistic or comparative perspective and to advance our understanding of human language as such, in terms of state-of-the-art theories, methods, and analytical models or frameworks. Regular articles on one individual language are published only to the extent that they make a contribution of general interest.
- News from the Field: SL welcomes short contributions that report on new discoveries in little-known or endangered languages, emphasizing description over theory and comparison. Contributions to this special section typically derive from original fieldwork and are expected to provide concise and well-substantiated analyses of linguistic phenomena that have not been noticed so far and for which the wider theoretical implications have yet to be established.
- Review articles: Studies in Language invites proposals for Review Articles in which recent book publications relating to and relevant for some specific area of linguistic research are critically discussed. Review Articles must be preceded by a proposal, which will be evaluated by the journal editors. If the proposal is accepted, the Review Article author will receive a physical or digital copy of the book. The Review Article should be a well thought through and balanced survey. Specific areas of interest include morphology, syntax, semantics, pragmatics, historical linguistics, and discourse, with priority to a typological and cross-linguistic perspective. Review Articles of books on a single language are welcome if the topic is of interest to general linguists, whereas Review Articles of interdisciplinary studies are welcome to the extent that they have a strong functional linguistic orientation.
SL publishes its articles Online First.
Studies in Language now offers online submission.

Submission
Studies in Language offers online submission .
General
Studies in Language invites contributions in all areas of linguistics, with special reference for morphology, syntax, semantics, pragmatics, historical linguistics, and discourse. For all contributions, the priority of a typological and cross-linguistic perspective is high: articles on one language only are welcome if of interest to the generalist/universalist. Likewise, interdisciplinary studies are welcome to the extent that they have the same perspective.
Contributions should be in the English language only. Articles previously published or under consideration by another journal cannot be accepted.
Submission
Preferably, manuscripts should be submitted online. Please consult the Short Guide to EM for Authors before you submit your paper. For specifics such as typing format, illustrations and tables, references, glosses etc. please consult the SL style sheet on this website. LaTeX files can unfortunately not be accepted.
If you are not able to submit online, or for any other editorial correspondence, please contact (one of) the editors:
