About the journal
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 empirical methodology to the analysis of grammar. Two special book-series are affiliated to this well-established journal: Studies in Language Companion Series under the editorship of Werner Abraham and Elly van Gelderen, and Typological Studies in Language with Spike Gildea as editor.
This journal is peer reviewed and indexed in: Social Sciences Citation Index; Social Scisearch; Current Contents/Social and Behavioral Sciences; Journal Citation Reports/Social Sciences Edition; Arts & Humanities Citation Index; Abstracts in English Studies; Cultures, Langues, Textes; European Reference Index for the Humanities; Germanistik; Humanities Index; IBR/IBZ; INIST; Linguistics Abstracts; Linguistic Bibliography/Bibliographie Linguistique; LLBA; MLA International Bibliography.
Instructions to Authors
General: Studies in Language invites contributions in all areas of linguistics, with special reference for morphology, syntax, semantics, pragmatics, historical linguistics, and discourse. For all contributions, the priority of a typological and cross-linguistic perspective is high: articles on one language only are welcome if of interest to the generalist/universalist. Likewise, interdisciplinary studies are welcome to the extent that they have the same perspective.
Manuscript submission: Manuscripts should be submitted to one of the editors. For specifics such as typing format, illustrations and tables, references, glosses etc. please consult the SL style sheet on John Benjamins website. Following receipt of the manuscript on diskette, authors will receive an acknowledgement of receipt via e-mail.
Editorial policy: Contributions should be in the English language only. Articles previously published or under consideration by another journal cannot be accepted. All correspondence concerning editorial matters should be sent directly to one of the following editors:

Style Sheet
The Editors of Studies in Language wish to leave to authors as much freedom as possible in regard to format, provided that that format is not too esoteric, and is followed consistently throughout the article/review.
Some things, however, are “musts? The Editors can take care of many of them. The following are the author’s responsibility.
- General
Electronic submission is preferred. Send the Editor a PDF version and one hard copy as crosscheck for faulty fonts and figures, or three hard copies by special arrangement only.
Editorial review is easier if you use double spacing throughout, also for (Foot)Notes and References.
Indent every new paragraph. Do not use blank lines for the sole purpose of marking the next line as the first of a new paragraph.
For submission of the final version of manuscript for publication the original files (thus not PDF) should be sent together with an identical hard copy.
- Face sheet
The face sheet (or “title page is the first sheet of the hard copy, no matter whether it or the next page is numbered " It must contain:
- Title; author’s name; author’s affiliation; author’s e-mail address
- Well below the place of the above, the author’s name and full address. (For joint authorship, this should be the name and address of the author responsible for proofreading.)
- Indications of what you use for emphasis, if other than in Typing format; type face, below.
- Abstract
The second page of the hard copy must be an abstract. The abstract should be:
Accurate: Ensure that the abstract objectively reflects the purpose and content of your paper. Report rather than evaluate;
Self-contained: Define abbreviations and unique terms, spell out names, and give reference to the context in which your paper should be viewed (i.e., it builds on your previous work, or responds to another publication);
Concise and specific: Abstracts should not exceed 120 words. Be maximally informative, use the active voice, and include the 4 or 5 most important key words, findings or implications.
- Typing format; type face
- For emphasis, the options are: bold; or an option to be identified on the face sheet.
- For italics in print, mark the following:
- Cited data (including English) in the body of the text. (The gloss follows, without a comma, in single quotes.)
- Titles of: books; journals.
- Illustrations and tables
These should appear on separate sheets; the places where they are to appear in the body of the text should be clearly marked on the hard copy. All should be numbered consecutively with Arabic numerals. (Do not use expressions like “the following table")
- References body of the text
For reference to a publication, use author’s last name plus year (plus page numbers if required). Parenthesize as needed.
Examples:
Marshall (1964: 12) finds complications in this regard in some NAN languages.
As several phonologists have noted (Banke 1975: 15; Rubo 1979a: 1134; Lavière 1981: 16 and passim), epenthesis presents special problems for this type of interpretation.
- List of references
Titles of books, journals, and series are to be underscored or italicized. Use caps to begin all operative words in a title only for titles of journals and titles of series (not for titles of books and titles of articles). If you wish to add a series title, place it at the end of the entry, enclosed in square brackets.
Do not abbreviate titles of journals, such as “Language". (Volumes of the Berkeley Linguistics Society and Chicago Linguistics Society are in the book, not journal, category; see format Article in collection, below.)
Note the use of punctuation and of periods for abbreviation, in the following examples. For second and following authors or editors: last name first as in the first. (Use “et al." only for more than three authors.) Do not use dashes for repeats of same author/editor.

- Indented numbered examples and glosses
Kindly observe the following:
- Indent all numbered examples.
- Enclose each number in parentheses; and use such parenthesized numbers also in the body of the text whenever reference to such examples is made.
- For conventions on interlinear morpheme-by-morpheme glosses we refer to the Leipzig Glossing Rules (LGR). The most recent version of the LGR can be found at: http://www.eva.mpg.de/lingua/files/morpheme.html
- Other
- Use double quotes for quotations. Use single quotes only for glosses and for quotes within quotes. (For indented quotations, do not use quotes at all.)
- Use square brackets for both interpolations (e.g. and ellipses within directly quoted text; and to enclose phonetic symbols (as distinct from phoneme symbols within slashes).
- For relative order of quotes and punctuation marks, the only requirement is that obvious violations of scope of quotation enclosure be avoided.
- Full sentence parentheses end in sententially partial ones (if sentence-final), in
- Do not use noncapitalizable symbols to open a sentence.
