The open access of Lingua Sinica furthermore guarantees prompt publication of a submission as soon as the review process is completed, and aims to achieve the widest possible visibility and optimal international impact.
Aims and Scope
Lingua Sinica is a peer-reviewed journal dedicated to the linguistic study of Chinese and the minority languages in China, including their various social and regional dialects. It publishes highest-quality papers written in English that address significant linguistic issues based on contemporary linguistic theories, experimental approaches and/or comprehensive generalizations derived from carefully collected language data. The aims of the journal are threefold: (i) to provide a platform for exchanging ideas among leading researchers in Chinese linguistics, especially between those inside and outside China, and across different sub-fields and theories of language sciences, (ii) to provide a venue for researchers in China to publish high-quality papers in English in order to make their research results accessible internationally, and (iii) to present the contributions and maximize the visibility of Chinese linguistics by making its research available and relevant not only to linguists working on other languages in the world, but also to the general and hyphenated linguistics communities.
Submissions and Enquiries
Lingua Sinica welcomes submission of work on any linguistic aspects of Chinese and the minority languages in China regardless of the theoretical framework or experimental approach in which the research is carried out. Scholars interested in submitting papers to the journal are invited to send their manuscripts or questions to lingua.sinica.journal@gmail.com
