Welcome to the Buckingham Journal of Language and Linguistics, ISSN 1957-9821

The Buckingham Journal of Language and Linguistics is an academic journal for articles in general and applied linguistics written within the descriptive tradition. It particularly favours work which offers an original contribution and an independent viewpoint. It does not impose limitations in terms of methodology or genre, neither does it support a specific linguistic school; instead, it welcomes new research which furthers the understanding of language. Articles are cutting-edge in their fields, but as far as possible are accessible to readers with a general foundation in linguistics.

The journal is paper-based and is published in association with the University of Buckingham (UK) Press. Those interested in submitting contributions should contact the editors in the first instance, while those seeking to purchase a subscription or an individual issue should contact the University of Buckingham Press.
