About the Journal
Semantics and Pragmatics (S&P) is a peer-reviewed open access journal. The main content is high quality, original, self-contained research articles on the semantics and pragmatics of natural languages. While our target audience is primarily academic linguists, we expect to also publish material by, or of relevance to, philosophers, psychologists, and computer scientists.
The journal is affiliated with and published by the Linguistic Society of America under its eLanguage initiative, and receives financial support from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the University of Texas at Austin.
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. More information can be found at http://semantics-online.org/sp.
We do not require any particular format for initial submissions (except requiring that the submission be a pdf file). We do encourage authors to use our LaTeX package. Note that we provide typesetting services for authors of accepted articles that are not in LaTeX format.
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.
