Submission
Submitting to Diachronica
Diachronica welcomes submissions on all aspects of language change and reconstruction, including genetic relationships and classification. We especially seek work that combines new insights of theoretical interest with rigorous analysis of data. Papers should have a clearly diachronic orientation, as opposed to treating data from older languages synchronically.
Please submit your paper through the journal's online submission portal .
Before submitting please consult:
- Short guide to "Editorial Manager" for authors
- Diachronica guidelines for submissions (PDF)
- Diachronica guidelines for referees (PDF)
