Aims and Scope

Brills Studies in Historical Linguistics (BSHL) is an international series aiming to publish studies that bring the field of historical linguistics forward methodologically, empirically, theoretically, or all of the above. Volumes published in this series will represent original research at the highest intellectual level, intended for disseminating genuine and innovative contributions to the field, from all theoretical frameworks and scholarly persuasions alike. The studies may be confined to a linguistic phenomenon in the history of one language or be comparative. They may be from any area of historical linguistics, provided that they show a progress from the state-of-the-art.

Readership

The series is targeted at the historical linguistics community at large. It should be of interest to scholars working on both well-known and well-documented languages and language families and to scholars doing historical-comparative research on less-documented languages or language families.

Call for Submissions

Interest in historical linguistics is resurgent, with large-scale historical linguistics research projects being set up at universities around the world. More and more students are taking an interest in historical linguistics, driving methodological changes in the field: projects now utilize large computerized corpora and more advanced computational methods, plus innovative theoretical approaches to language change, such as diachronic typology, diachronic construction grammar, statistical phylogenetic methods, and other applications of modern approaches and research questions on historical data. Article-length products from this surge of activity can find outlets in multiple journals, including the new journals Language Dynamics and Change and Journal of Historical Linguistics. However, historical work often requires a longer presentation, especially in order to convey the many examples and tables that accompany comparative work and to give space to the proper explication and elaboration of the data and the argumentation that is needed. Brills Studies in Historical Linguistics aims at filling the pressing need for a publishing outlet dedicated to books, particularly monographs, targeted at the historical linguistics community at large. The series editors, Jhanna Bardal (University of Bergen) and Spike Gildea (University of Oregon), are keen to receive submissions for the series. We seek single-authored or co-authored manuscripts that reflect work along the lines outlined above. We encourage such submissions from scholars working on both well-known and well-documented languages and language families and from scholars doing historical-comparative research on less-documented languages or language families. For guidelines about submissions, please contact Wendy Shamier (shamier@brill.nl), Brills Senior Acquisitions Editor for Language and Linguistics.
