Word Structure

Word Structure is an international journal of linguistic morphology and all related disciplines. Its outlook is both synchronic and diachronic. Its interests are both empirical and theoretical. Its aim is to further the understanding of the nature of words, in every sense and in the broadest definition, in the languages of the world by applying to that concept the methodologies of disciplines such as morphology, syntax and phonology, of sociolinguistics and psycholinguistics, of formal, computational, cognitive and historical linguistics and of any other relevant sub-discipline of linguistics. This is a broad remit, but it nevertheless has limits. Submissions not centrally concerned with the nature of words may be regarded by the Editors as unsuitable, and in case of doubt potential contributors are encouraged, to avoid disappointment and publishing delays, to consult the Editors before submission. The Editors may be able to recommend alternative outlets for such submissions.
