International Journal of American Linguistics

Restricciones declaradas

• artículos de datos: las desaconseja

  “IJAL does not usually publish standalone analyzed or interlinearized texts in our print journal, although we currently have two other venues for such work— IJAL Texts Online for shorter, single texts, and the Texts in the Indigenous Languages of the Americas series for longer anthologies.”

• estudios puramente descriptivos: las desaconseja

  “IJAL has historically published brief descriptive phonological and grammatical sketches of previously undocumented or under-documented languages; however, currently our preference is for papers that concentrate on a particular analytical theme.”

Exige además, tal como lo registramos

• se desaconsejan los articulos analiticos basados en pocas formas o ejemplos, o que reciclan pequenas cantidades de datos de fuentes publicadas facilmente accesibles, salvo que aporten ideas importantes de interes general para la comunidad linguistica americanista

  “We discourage submission of analytical papers based on only a few forms or example sentences, or that simply recycle small amounts of data from easily accessible published sources, except where these papers can contribute important insights into issues of general interest to the Americanist linguistic community.”

• se aceptan trabajos de estudiantes siempre que cumplan los mismos estandares exigidos a otros autores

  “IJAL is happy to print work written by students, provided this work meets the standards demanded of other authors published in the journal.”
