Sign Language & Linguistics (SLL) aims to increase our understanding of language by providing an academic forum for researchers to discuss sign languages in the larger context of natural language, crosslinguistically and crossmodally. SLL presents studies that apply existing theoretical insights to sign language in order to further our understanding of SL; it investigates and expands our knowledge of grammar based on the study of SL and it specifically addresses the effect of modality (signed...

Second Language Research publishes theoretical and experimental papers concerned with second language acquisition and second language performance. In addition to providing a forum for investigators in the field of non-native language learning, it seeks to promote interdisciplinary research which links acquisition studies to related non-applied fields such as: <ul> <li>Neurolinguistics</li> <li>Theoretical linguistics</li> <li>First language developmental psycholinguistics</li> </ul> Each volume includes one special guest-edited number focusing on a current theme and specially commissioned review articles addressing major issues in the field, forming...

Language Learning is a scientific journal dedicated to the understanding of language learning broadly defined. It publishes research articles that systematically apply methods of inquiry from disciplines including psychology, linguistics, cognitive science, educational inquiry, neuroscience, ethnography, sociolinguistics, sociology, and semiotics. It is concerned with fundamental theoretical issues in language learning such as child, second, and foreign language acquisition, language education, bilingualism, literacy, language representation in mind and brain, culture, cognition, pragmatics, and intergroup relations.

Studies in Language provides a forum for the discussion of issues in contemporary linguistics from discourse-pragmatic, functional, and typological perspectives. Areas of central concern are: discourse grammar; syntactic, morphological and semantic universals; pragmatics; grammaticalization and grammaticalization theory; and the description of problems in individual languages from a discourse-pragmatic, functional, and typological perspective. Special emphasis is placed on works which contribute to the development of discourse-pragmatic, functional, and typological theory and which explore the application of... Read more

The Journal of Applied Linguistics was launched in 2004 with the aim of advancing research and practice in Applied Linguistics as a principled and interdisciplinary endeavour. The journal seeks material that highlights the evidence in establishing claims of relevance to practice in Applied Linguistics research and has a special concern for research methodology through a focus on research tools, cross-disciplinary contributions, issues of ethics and research participation. This focus underscores the point that methodological issues... Read more

The International Journal of Applied Linguistics publishes articles that focus on the mediation between expertise about language and experience of language. The journal seeks to develop an awareness of the way language works, how it affects peoples’ lives, and what interventions are desirable and feasible to make in differing domains of language use and learning. The language of this journal is English, but its concerns are by no means confined to what goes on in English... Read more

Grammars is an international forum for the dissemination of high-level original research in the intersection between mathematical/computational linguistics and formal language theory. The journal is based on the fact that a certain gap exists between linguists trying to find adequate formal tools for natural language description and computer scientists often unconcerned with the descriptive applicability of the generative devices they design. Not all linguists are acquainted with new developments in pure formal language theory nor... Read more

Cognitive Science Quarterly (CSQ) publishes original work in cognitive science, including basic as well as applied research spanning the whole field of: <ul> <li>empirical analysis (for example, experiments in psychology and neurobiology),</li> <li>formal theory and analysis (as used in logic, linguistics, philosophy, etc.),</li> <li>computational synthesis (mechanisms and implemented models, employing symbol structures, neural networks, or other means of modelling),</li> <li>applications of cognitive science (in industry, education, and other domains).</li> </ul> CSQ recognises the full scope of cognitive science, comprising parts of psychology...
