The Journal of Semantics publishes articles, notes, discussions, and book reviews in the area of academic research into the semantics of natural language. It is explicitly interdisciplinary, in that it aims at an integration of philosophical, psychological, and linguistic semantics as well as semantic work done in logic, artificial intelligence, and anthropology
Scope
Journal of Semantics aims to be the premier generalist journal in semantics. It covers all areas in the study of meaning, and particularly welcomes submissions using the best available methodologies in semantics, pragmatics, the syntax/semantics interface, cross-linguistic semantics, experimental studies of meaning (processing, acquisition, neurolinguistics), and semantically informed philosophy of language.
Types of articles
Journal of SemanticsJournal of Semantics welcomes all types of research articles–with the usual proviso that length must be justified by scientific value. Besides standard articles, the Journal will welcome ‘squibs? i.e. very short empirical or theoretical contributions that make a pointed argument. In exceptional circumstances, and upon the advice of the head of the Advisory Board, the Journal will publish ‘featured articles? i.e. pieces that we take to make extraordinary contributions to the field.
Editorial decisions within 10 weeks The Journal aims to make editorial decisions within 10 weeks of submission.
Refereeing
Articles can only be accepted upon the advice of anonymous referees, who are asked to uphold strict scientific standards. Authors may include their names on their manuscripts, but they need not do so. (To avoid conflicts of interest, any manuscript submitted by one of the Editors will be handled by the head of the Advisory Board, who will be responsible for selecting referees and making an editorial decision).
Contributions must be of good quality (to be judged by at least two referees) and must report original research relating to questions of comprehension and interpretation of sentences, texts, or discourse in natural language. The editors welcome not only papers that cross traditional discipline boundaries, but also more specialized contributions, provided they are accessible to and interesting for a general readership in the field of natural language semantics. Empirical relevance, sound theoretic foundation, and formal as well as methodological correctness by currently accepted academic standards are the central criteria of acceptance for publication. It is also required of contributions published in the Journal that they link up with currently relevant discussions in the field of natural language semantics.
