Linguistik online has been founded in 1998 in order to facilitate access to the results of linguistic research. In times when the financial resources of libraries in Western Europe and many other parts of the world are continuously shrinking, and in some parts of Eastern Europe virtually non-existent, Linguistik online is free of charge and available to all interested. It covers a broad range of linguistic fields. Central areas of linguistic research are dealt with regularly, and less frequently discussed questions are the subject of special issues, where guest editors are always welcome.

Linguistik online deals with:

• conversation analysis
• history of language
• language acquisition
• linguistic history, theory and methods
• morphology and syntax
• pragmatics
• semantics
• sociolinguistics

Languages:

Linguistik online is an international European journal and will therefore publish articles in all European languages. However, potential authors should take the following facts into consideration:

• two of the co-editors must be able to read the language in question
• special characters or Cyrillic often require new configurations on the side of the users in order to be readable
• the percentage of the audience able to read the article depends, of course, very much on the language used

For this reason, Linguistik online recommends its authors in general to restrict themselves to English, French, German, and Spanish.

Linguistik online  is based in Frankfurt/Oder (Germany) at the Faculty for Cultural Sciences at the European University "Viadrina". The library of this faculty keeps one paper copy of each edition by way of an additional back up. Another one is being kept in the library of the Philosophical-histrical Faculty at the Univerity of Berne (Switzerland).

Upcoming subjects/call for papers:

Since it has turned out that most contributions are submitted for the "Miscellaneous" issues, they now form the standard issue of this journal. However, suggestions for special issues are always welcome!

Please contact us if you have any contribution or suggestion: Elke Hentschel.
