It is our pleasure to announce a new open-access electronic periodical:
the Journal of Language Modelling (JLM). The journal is free for authors
and readers alike.  All articles will be published under a Creative
Commons licence.

JLM is a peer-reviewed journal which aims to bridge the gap between
theoretical, formal and computational linguistics. Although a typical
article will present linguistic generalisations – either their
application in natural language processing or their discovery in
language corpora – acceptable topics range from linguistic analyses
sufficiently precise to be readily implemented to mathematical models of
aspects of language, and further to computational systems making
non-trivial use of linguistic insights.

We understand the discipline of language modelling very broadly. It
includes, naturally, statistical language modelling, as construed in
speech recognition or statistical machine translation, but it also
covers formal linguistic descriptions of phonological, morphological,
syntactic, semantic and pragmatic language phenomena; corpus linguistics
as a tool for modelling language; and so on.

Papers are reviewed within less than three months of their receipt, and
they appear on-line as soon as they have been accepted. There are no
delays typical of traditional paper journals. Accepted articles are then
collected in half-yearly issues and yearly volumes, with continuous page
numbering, and are made available as hard copies via print on demand, at
a nominal fee. On the other hand, Journal of Language Modelling has a
fully traditional view of quality: all papers are carefully refereed by
at least three reviewers, including at least one member of the Editorial
Board, and they are only accepted if they adhere to the highest
scientific, typographic and stylistic standards.

Articles can be submitted at:
