About the journal
Aims & Scope
The research published in Language Acquisition: A Journal of Developmental Linguistics makes a clear contribution to linguistic theory by increasing our understanding of how language is acquired. The journal focuses on the acquisition of syntax, semantics, phonology, and morphology, and considers theoretical, experimental, and computational perspectives.
Coverage includes solutions to the logical problem of language acquisition, as it arises for particular grammatical proposals; discussion of acquisition data relevant to current linguistic questions; and perspectives derived from theory-driven studies of second language acquisition, language-impaired speakers, and other domains of cognition.
In addition to brief and full-length research articles, the editors invite authors of recent dissertations on language acquisition to submit a synopsis for publication in Language Acquisition

Instructions to Authors
Articles
An article should be submitted electronically according to the instructions available on the journal' manuscript-submission web site (http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/language). The preferred format is Microsoft Word. Please prepare the article according to the style sheet (http://www.languageacquisition.org/StyleSheet.html). Articles based on laboratory experimentation should include complete experimental stimuli in an appendix. The manuscript should not exceed 60 double-spaced pages of text (excluding references, tables, figures, and mandatory abstract); manuscripts longer than this will ordinarily be returned to the author for reduction without review.
The submitted full-length article manuscript must be anonymous. The authors' names and affiliations must be omitted, any acknowledgments and identifying information regarding the location of data sources must be removed, and in general every effort should be made by the authors to ensure that the manuscript contains no clue to their identities.
Brief Articles
A submission to the Brief Articles section should conform to the same requirements as an article with the following exceptions: The manuscript should not exceed 15 double-spaced pages, including footnotes and references. Authors may choose to submit Brief Articles anonymously (as with full-length articles) or not. Inclusion of experimental materials is not required in the manuscript, but it is recommended that published articles make their materials available for review on the world wide web; see http://www.LanguageAcquisition.org/BAMissionStatement.html for details. The manuscript should be submitted electronically according to the instructions available on the journal' manuscript-submission web site (http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/language).
Dissertation Notices
Authors of recent dissertations on language acquisition are invited to submit a synopsis for publication. The dissertation should have been completed within 3 years prior to submission. Research on L1, L2, and/or special populations is appropriate, provided that the research makes a clear contribution to linguistic theory. The synopsis should indicate the breadth of the entire dissertation but may focus on the most important findings. The synopsis will be reviewed for appropriateness of form and content by the journal's editorial staff but will not be sent out for anonymous peer review. Synopses should be formatted according to the style sheet (http://www.languageacquisition.org/StyleSheet.html). A synopsis should not exceed 1,000 words, including references, and should not include footnotes, tables, or figures. Include the author's name, institution, year of Ph.D., and major advisor's name following the title. Synopses should be submitted electronically according to the instructions available on the journal' manuscript-submission web site (http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/language).
Certifications
When submitting a manuscript, the authors must certify that the findings reported in the manuscript have not been published previously and that the manuscript is not being submitted elsewhere simultaneously. Authors should also certify that they have complied with the Ethical Standards of the American Psychological Association (http://www.apa.org/ethics) in the treatment of their samples.
