About the journal

Aims & Scope
The aim of the Journal of Literary Semantics is to concentrate the endeavours of theoretical linguistics upon those texts traditionally classed as ‘literary? in the belief that such texts are a central, not a peripheral, concern of linguistics.
This journal, founded by Trevor Eaton in 1972 and edited by him for thirty years, has pioneered and encouraged research into the relations between linguistics and literature. It is widely read by theoretical and applied linguists, narratologists, poeticians, philosophers and psycholinguists. JLS publishes articles on all aspects of literary semantics. The ambit is inclusive rather than doctrinaire. The journal publishes articles of a philosophical or theoretical nature that attempt to advance our understanding of the structures, dynamics, and significations of literary texts. This includes articles that relate the study of literature to other disciplines such as psychology, neurophysiology, mathematics, and history, as well as articles dealing with the educational problems inherent in the study of literature.
Instructions to Authors Notes for contributors Submissions to the journal should be written in English. Contributors whose native language is not English should have their manuscripts read by a native speaker before submission. Contributions should be sent to the editor at the address indicated on the title page. Two copies of each manuscript should be submitted and should be double-spaced throughout (including notes and references) on one side of A4 or letter-size paper, leaving wide margins. All pages should be numbered serially. Authors are requested to label at the first occurrence and clearly identify any special characters used. Non-English words should appear in italics. Please do not use boldface type, as this makes for difficult reading. Use only double quotation marks throughout, with the exception of translations, when single quotation marks should be used. Contributors are requested to submit the final version on disk as well as a hard copy. If possible, one of the more common wordprocessing packages should be used. An abstract of between 100 and 150 words must be submitted together with the contribution. Examples not in English must have aligned interlinear glosses and an idiomatic translation. Figures and diagrams must be reproducible originals and should be submitted on separate sheets, carefully numbered and labeled. They should be referred to in the text and the approximate position should be indicated. Notes should be kept to an absolute minimum and be as brief as possible. They may contain no diagrams or tables. They should be numbered consecutively and indicated in the text by a raised (superscript) number following any punctuation marks. Citations in the text should give the name of the author/editor, the year of publication, and, in the case of quotations, the page reference, all in parentheses, for example: (Smart 1974: 22). Use ¡°et al.¡± in the case of more than two authors. Abbreviations such as ¡°ibid.¡± and ¡°loc. cit.¡± etc. should not be used. The reference section should contain all works cited in the text, and only those, and they must be listed in alphabetical order of author/editor, with the full first name wherever possible, and with complete bibliographical details (including publisher); in cases of multiple authorship the names of all authors must be given. Journal and book titles must be given in full and must be italicised. Page references must be given for articles in books and journals. References should conform to the following examples: Chomsky, Noam (1992). Some notes on the economy of derivation and representation. In Principles and Parameters in Comparative Grammar, Robert Freidin (ed.), 417¨C455. Cambridge, MA: MIT Press. Droste, Flip G. (1982). Metaphory as a Paradigmatic Function. Poetics 11: 203¨C211. Halliday, M. A. K. (1978). Language as Social Semiotic. London: Edward Arnold. van Peer, Willie (2002). On the origins of style. Journal of Literary Semantics 31(1): 1¨C18. Authors will receive page proofs for correction, which must be returned by dates determined by the production schedule. Upon publication, 30 offprints of each article will be sent free of charge. When there is more than one author, the offprints will be sent to the first named author for distribution.
