Studia Islamica offers to the learned public, and not to Islamic scholars only, papers written by qualified specialists on subjects from all sections of the vast field of Islamic studies. Special attention is paid to discussions of method to comprehensive views, and to new conclusions.
Studia Linguistica aims at publishing high quality, original papers within the field of general linguistics, such as syntax, morphology, phonology, semantics, pragmatics, psycholinguistics and computational linguistics. The editors welcome reviews of new monographs in the field as well as initiatives for thematic issues with guest editors.
Studies in Language (SL) 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. For regular article contributions, the priority of a typological and cross-linguistic perspective is high: Articles on one language are welcome if of interest to the generalist/universalist. Likewise, interdisciplinary studies are welcome to the extent that they have the same perspective. In addition to regular articles, SL welcomes short contributions that report on new discoveries in little-known and/or endangered languages, emphasizing description over theory and comparison, and that are published in a special section to the journal. Contributions to this section typically derive from original fieldwork and are expected to provide concise and well-substantiated analyses of linguistic phenomena that have not been noticed much in general or in the relevant family or area but for which the wider theoretical implications cannot be established yet.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; Linguistics Abstracts; Linguistic Bibliography/Bibliographie Linguistique; LLBA; MLA International Bibliography, TSA Online.
