Subject: Annual Reviews Announces a New Linguistics Journal

Annual Reviews have just launched the Annual Review of Linguistics. 

Adding what might be seen as a non-core subject to their list, is in
recognition that linguistic research has expanded and diversified into nearly
every possible area of language science, and the volume, diversity, and
quality of relevant publications have increased in proportion. The journal
will cover significant developments in the field of linguistics, including
phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, pragmatics, and their
interfaces and provide articles that benefit both specialists and
nonspecialists, experts and students, teachers of introductory courses, and
scholars in neighbouring fields.

Complimentary online access to the first volume of the journal is available
until January 2016 at http://www.annualreviews.org/journal/linguistics. 

Full details in the Press Release below or online at
http://www.annualreviews.org/page/about/news-and-events#news; do get in touch
with me, or with Jenni at Annual Reviews (contact info given at the end) if
you need any more info.

Kind Regards
Charlotte

Press Release

Palo Alto, CA - January 27, 2015. Annual Reviews, the not-for-profit publisher
that thoughtfully synthesizes critical research literature, is delighted to
announce the launch of the Annual Review of Linguistics. This journal will
cover significant developments in the field of linguistics, including
phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, pragmatics, and their
interfaces. The reviews will synthesize advances in linguistic theory,
sociolinguistics, psycholinguistics, neurolinguistics, computational
linguistics, language acquisition, language change, biology and evolution of
language, typology, field linguistics, and language documentation, as well as
the application of linguistics in many domains.

The Annual Review of Linguistics is edited by Mark Liberman, Christopher H.
Browne Professor of Linguistics at the University of Pennsylvania, and Barbara
H. Partee, University Professor Emerita of Linguistics and Philosophy at the
University of Massachusetts–Amherst.

Professor Liberman explains, “The goal of the Annual Review of Linguistics is
to offer access to significant developments across our increasingly diverse
field, including all scientific approaches to the study of speech, language,
and communication, as well as significant applications of linguistics in
technology, medicine, law, education, and public policy.” He adds, “Articles
are written for an audience that is centered on the core disciplines of
academic linguistics, including researchers, teachers, and students in all
fields that are concerned with the forms and functions of human language.”
Professor Partee commented, “Our mission is to provide articles that benefit
both specialists and nonspecialists, experts and students, teachers of
introductory courses, and scholars in neighboring fields.”

“Over the past few decades, linguistic research has expanded and diversified
into nearly every possible area of language science, and the volume,
diversity, and quality of relevant publications have increased in proportion.
Recognizing these changes, Annual Reviews has decided to add linguistics to
our distinguished catalog of systematic examinations of current scientific
literature,” notes Samuel Gubins, President and Editor-in-Chief of Annual
Reviews.

Professors Liberman and Partee are supported by a distinguished Editorial
Committee which includes: Stephen R. Anderson, Yale University; J.K. Chambers,
University of Toronto; Anne Cutler, University of Western Sydney; Dan
Jurafsky, Stanford University; Manfred Krifka, Institut für deutsche Sprache
und Linguistik Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin and Joan Maling, National
Science Foundation.

Complimentary online access to the first volume of the journal is available
until January 2016 at linguistics.annualreviews.org. Interested institutions
that do not have a current online account and would like to track usage

Sales Department (sales at annualreviews.org).
