Published in 3 issues per year both online and in print, Language & History is an interdisciplinary, peer-reviewed journal that aims to promote the study of the history of all branches of linguistic thought, theoretical and applied, and including non-European traditions.

Its fields of interest include the history both of the major subject areas of linguistics and also more specialised topics, such as writing systems, literacy, rhetoric, and the application of linguistic ideas within professional and technical fields.

The journal welcomes articles of ca 7,000 words relating to any of the topics listed above. Manuscripts are assessed by an international Editorial Board and undergo a double-blind peer-review process before being approved for publication.

You can submit an article to Language & History by creating an account in the journal’s online Editorial Management System. For more information on the submission process, please read the Instructions for Authors section of the journal website.

Themed issues: We normally publish one guest-edited themed issue each year, and welcome proposals for any theme that falls within the scope of the journal. Please contact the Lead Editor of the journal, Deborah Hayden (deborah.hayden@mu.ie) initially to discuss your ideas.
