INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF AMERICAN LINGUISTICS

The International Journal of American Linguistics is dedicated to the documentation and analysis of the indigenous languages of the Americas. Founded by Franz Boas and Pliny Earle Goddard in 1917, IJAL is an important repository for research based on field work and archival materials on the languages of North and South America.Articles appearing in IJAL may result from general descriptive work on a language, but typically focus on aspects of the language analyzed within one of the sub-disciplines of linguistics—phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax, or semantics. We also encourage submissions in the areas of sociolinguistics, anthropological linguistics, and historical linguistics, as well as areal and typological studies. Articles may be written from any theoretical perspective, as long as the author offers an original, well-argued, and clearly-presented analysis, and the paper incorporates substantial empirical data that will be of value for the documentary record of the language. Papers may be submitted in either English or Spanish.

“国际美国语言学杂志”致力于记录和分析美洲土着语言。IJAL由Franz Boas和Pliny Earle Goddard于1917年创立，是基于现场工作和北美和南美语言档案材料研究的重要资料库。出现在IJAL中的文章可能源于对语言的一般描述性工作，但通常侧重于语言学的一个子学科 - 语音学，语音学，形态学，语法或语义学中分析的语言的各个方面。我们还鼓励社会语言学，人类学语言学和历史语言学以及区域和类型学研究领域的提交。文章可以从任何理论的角度撰写，只要作者提供原创的，有争议的，清晰呈现的分析，并且该论文包含了对该语言的文献记录有价值的实质性经验数据。论文可以用英语或西班牙语提交。
