Although in the last two or three decades many researchers in semantics and
pragmatics have adopted a cognitivist stance on natural language
interpretation, for a long time the relations between semantics/pragmatics
and experimental psychology were lukewarm, at best. Recently, however, this
has begun to change, and the past few years have yielded a fair number of
truly interdisciplinary studies on such diverse topics as anaphora,
quantification, modality, implicature, polysemy, and so on.
 
Next year, the Journal of Semantics will publish a special issue that aims
to bring together theoretical and experimental approaches to semantics and
pragmatics. Papers submitted for this issue should address topics related
to semantic/pragmatic processing, and should be of interest to an
interdisciplinary readership. Submitted papers should be in pdf-format and
be emailed to the managing editor: bart.geurts at phil.ru.nl
 
 
Since it was founded in 1982, the Journal of Semantics has been one of the
main venues for publishing research in semantics and pragmatics. Currently,
our acceptance rate is 15%, and the average turnaround time (i.e. the time
between submission of a manuscript and the editorial decision) is 12 weeks.

The Journal of Semantics publishes articles concerned with the
interpretation of natural language, broadly construed: we welcome
contributions from all fields engaged in the study of interpretation,
including linguistics, philosophy, and psychology.
 
The editors of the Journal of Semantics are:
 
David Beaver
Regine Eckardt
Bart Geurts (managing editor)
Ira Noveck
Paul Portner
Philippe Schlenker
Yael Sharvit
Anna Szabolcsi
