Journal of South Asian Linguistics

CSLI Online Publications

The On-Line Journal of South Asian Linguistics is an Open Access Journal devoted to work pursuing formal approaches to the study of South Asian Languages. We conceive of South Asian Languages broadly to cover the languages of Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, and Tibet and that of the South Asian diasporas.

The journal covers the areas of computational linguistics, historical linguistics, language acquisition, morphology, phonology, phonetics, psycholinguistics, semantics, and syntax as well as work on other areas of linguistics that interfaces with one of the aforementioned areas. The formal analyses pursued in the articles can be couched in any theoretical framework. An important goal of the journal is to bring together theoretically oriented work with the vast range of crosslinguistic variation found in the South Asian subcontinent and to provide a dedicated forum for a discussion of the linguistic diversity of this area with a focus on the understudied and underdocumented languages of the region.

The contributions to the journal include full-length articles. In addition, we anticipate that the journal will grow to include responses and replies to recent work, short squibs, book reviews, and theoretically oriented descriptions of underdocumented languages. We also expect to have occasional special issues edited by guest editors devoted to particular topics.


The journal follows a policy of double-blind peer-review.
