About the Journal
Semantics and Pragmatics (S&P) is published by the Linguistic Society of America (LSA). It is a fully open-access peer-reviewed journal publishing high quality, original, self-contained research articles on the semantics and pragmatics of natural languages. In 2013, in its sixth year of publication, Semantics & Pragmatics became one of only two full journals of the LSA, alongside the society’s flagship journal, Language. There are no publication fees of any kind for publication in S&P.
While the core target audience of Semantics & Pragmatics is academic linguists, we also publish material by, or of relevance to, philosophers, psychologists, and computer scientists. Papers must include new results of interest to those working in semantics and pragmatics, and must demonstrate clear significance for theoretical development of those areas. Provided the work meets those criteria, we welcome both submissions of papers on core topics in semantics and pragmatics, and submissions of interdisciplinary papers involving work on syntax, phonology, psycho-linguistics, text and corpus studies, discourse and conversation analysis, computational semantics, the lexicon, historical linguistics, cross-linguistic typology, logic, and philosophy of language.
We strongly encourage all readers and prospective authors to register, which will let us send you email notifications of new articles. Other ways of staying in touch with the journal are the RSS newsfeed that you can subscribe to with your favorite newsreader, S&P's Facebook page, S&P on Twitter, and our editors' blog.
Our pilot issue (Vol. 0, 2007) contained an inaugural editorial explaining the concepts behind the journal.
We do not require any particular format for initial submissions (except requiring that the submission be a pdf file).
Once your paper is accepted, it will be typeset in LaTeX in S&P's house style. While we do not require final submission in LaTeX format, we do strongly encourage authors to submit in LaTeX and furthermore to use our LaTeX package. We do provide typesetting services for authors of accepted articles that are not in LaTeX format. However, as explained here, Word submissions will take much longer to reach the publication stage.
We would be grateful for any comments and feedback on the journal and this website. You can send us email or visit our editors' blog and leave a comment there.
