Aims & Scope

LANGUAGE AND LINGUISTICS (ISSN:1606-822X; Online ISSN: 2309-5067) is an academic publication of the Institute of Linguistics at Academia Sinica. Established in 2000, it publishes research in general and theoretical linguistics on the languages of East Asia and the Pacific region, including Sino-Tibetan, Austronesian, and the Austroasiatic and Altaic language families (Indo-European and Afro-Asiatic languages are not included). LANGUAGE AND LINGUISTICS publishes both a journal and a monograph series. LANGUAGE AND LINGUISTICS is a pure linguistics journal. We only publish articles on (descriptive and theoretical) linguistic studies but not articles on applied linguistics such as language teaching or language learning.
