LANGUAGE AND LINGUISTICS is an international journal which has been included in the LLBA, MLA, SSCI and A&HCI citation indexes. It publishes research in general or theoretical linguistics. Its areas of interest include the languages of East Asia and the Pacific Region, thus compassing (inter alia) Sino-Tibetan, Austronesian, Austroasiatic and Altaic. Contributions may be in the form of articles or reviews. Reviews are of two types: reviews of any recent books or review articles on particularly noteworthy or thought-provoking new articles or books. Correspondence concerning submissions, either article or review, or editorial matters should be directed to the Chief Editor at editor@gate.sinica.edu.tw
LANGUAGE AND LINGUISTICS is a quarterly publication. There are no restrictions on regular submission. The journal does not accept papers that have already been published, or that are being simultaneously submitted to other publications. Submissions must be typed, using either Mac or Microsoft word 6.0 (or later version). The journal languages are English and Chinese. English-language manuscripts should be kept to within thirty single-spaced pages. Chinese-language manuscripts (typed using the “Big 5”input mode) should be kept to within 25,000 characters. Authors are encouraged to keep specialized formatting to a minimum. Upon receipt, a manuscripts is immediately sent out for review. After a manuscript has been published, its author will receive ３０ complimentary off-prints plus two copies of the journal volume in which the article appears. (Honoraria are not available.)
Authors need not worry about their initial submissions conforming to the style sheet. After an article has been accepted for publication, however, it may have to be revised to so conform. The LANGUAGE AND LINGUISTICS style sheet is generally the same as for the journal LANGUAGE, with the following modifications.
| 1. |
Begin article sections with “1”(not zero). Order the sections as follows ：
1.
1.1
1.1.1
|
| 2. |
Order examples like this：
(1)
(2) a.
a'. (Use the “straight”quote ['] rather than a “smart”quote [‘] or [’] to indicate “prime” .)
As sign examples consecutive numbers continuing throughout the document; do not renumber from “(1)”for each section of the article.
|
| 3. |
Use footnotes (not endnotes). An asterisk (*) at the end of the article title will refer to a footnote for acknowledgments; thereafter, all footnotes will be in an uninterrupted, numeric sequence, beginning with “1”. |
| 4. |
Times New Roman is the working font for journal articles, with italic and bold styles reserved for special marking. A proliferation of fonts in a document is frowned upon.
|
| 5. |
Citation formats:
As part of a running text: author (year), or author (year：page)

As a parenthetic note: (author year), or (author year:page)
E.g., (Smith 1984), (Jones 1999:123)

Upon acceptance for publication, a submitted paper will be assigned an 18-digit serial number (e.g., 2002-0-003-001-000001-1). The first four digits indicate year of publication; the fifth digit publication type (zero for journals); the sixth-through-eighth and ninth-through-eleventh digits indicate volume and issue respectively; the next-to-last set is a number for author; and the last digit indicates evaluation type (“1”= rigorous, “2”= general, “3”= formal).
