Aims and Scope

Advances in Historical Linguistics (AHL) publishes high-quality monographs and thematic volumes on different languages in the field of historical linguistics. The series is particularly interested in corpus-based research with a strong empirical focus that is at the same time theoretically informed. Studies involving comparative perspectives are very welcome. The volumes comprise in-depth studies of diachronic change and/or synchronic descriptions of earlier stages of languages. The individual studies may be located in classical areas of historical linguistics, such as comparative linguistics, historical grammar, philology, and dialectology, but may also represent more recent approaches such as historical socio- and variationist linguistics, historical pragmatics, language evolution, computational phylogenetics, and diachronic cognitive linguistics. We are also open for commented editions of historical texts. The broad scope and cross-linguistic appeal of the series is reflected by the interdisciplinary profile of our editorial board that welcomes research on lesser-studied languages and periods.

Proposals

AHL welcomes proposals for monographs and edited volumes.

Proposals for monographs should not exceed 3000 words (excluding bibliography). They should include the title, a detailed table of contents, a description of the overall aims of the book, a summary of each chapter, and the main references. Please make sure to sketch out clearly your key findings and the methods applied. If your monograph is the revised version of a doctoral or postdoctoral thesis, please provide us with the reports on the original version, as well as a comprehensive account of all the major modifications made to the thesis.

Proposals for edited volumes should include the title of the book, the table of contents and contributors, a general description of the aims of the volume (approx. 800 words), and a 300-word abstract of each chapter. Please also provide us with information on the intended review process (see the general LSP reviewing guidelines and indicate which process you would prefer: http://userblogs.fu-berlin.de/langsci-press/2016/02/08/reviewing-of-edited-volumes).

All proposals will be discussed by the series editors and the editorial board. After submission of the final manuscript, monographs will be evaluated by the series editors and by external experts. Edited volumes are assessed in accordance to the LSP reviewing guidelines. Open peer review is encouraged (https://langsci-press.org/editorialPolicies). As regards the schedule, we follow the workflow suggested by LSP for reviewing, typesetting and proofreeding (https://langsci-press.org/forAuthors).
