Studies in Language (SL) provides a forum for the discussion of issues in contemporary linguistics from discourse-pragmatic, functional and typological perspectives. Areas of central concern are: discourse grammar; syntactic, morphological and semantic universals; pragmatics; grammaticalization and grammaticalization theory; and the description of problems in individual languages from a discourse-pragmatic, functional, and typological perspective. For regular article contributions, the priority of a typological and cross-linguistic perspective is high: Articles on one language are welcome if of interest to the generalist/universalist. Likewise, interdisciplinary studies are welcome to the extent that they have the same perspective. In addition to regular articles, SL welcomes short contributions that report on new discoveries in little-known and/or endangered languages, emphasizing description over theory and comparison, and that are published in a special section to the journal. Contributions to this section typically derive from original fieldwork and are expected to provide concise and well-substantiated analyses of linguistic phenomena that have not been noticed much in general or in the relevant family or area but for which the wider theoretical implications cannot be established yet.
