Open Access
As part of De Gruyter‘s Subscribe to Open progam, we plan to transform Linguistic Typology to Gold Open Access in 2024. For details on S2O, please see here.
Objective
Linguistic Typology provides a forum for all work of relevance to the study of language typology and cross-linguistic variation. It welcomes work taking a typological perspective on all domains of the structure of spoken and signed languages, including historical change, language processing, and sociolinguistics. Diverse descriptive and theoretical frameworks are welcomed so long as they have a clear bearing on the study of cross-linguistic variation. We welcome cross-disciplinary approaches to the study of linguistic diversity, as well as work dealing with just one or a few languages, as long as it is typologically informed and typologically and theoretically relevant, and contains new empirical evidence.Linguistic Typology is published by De Gruyter Mouton for the Association for Linguistic Typology (ALT).
