Open Germanic Linguistics

Aims and Scope

This series aims to provide a unified home for the highest quality monographs and edited scholarly volumes of empirically grounded research on Germanic languages past and present. The series welcomes formal, functional, and quantitative studies in any established subfield of linguistic inquiry (e.g., syntax, semantics, phonology, morphology, sociolinguistics, historical linguistics, psycholinguistics, and language acquisition).

Contributions that engage two or more Germanic languages in their studies are particularly desirable. In addition to an empirical focus on Germanic, volumes in this series should also contribute to theories of language structure, language use, language change, language acquisition, and language processing.

Submission Guidelines

Our series welcomes proposals for both monographs and edited volumes. All manuscripts should be based on original research that has not been published previously. We follow difference procedures of reviewing submissions depending on the type of manuscript we receive:

• Edited volumes: Proposals for edited volumes should include (i) the title of the book, (ii) a table of contents and contributors, (iii) a generally description of the aims of the volume (approx. 1000 words), and (iv) an abstract of each chapter. We request that prospective editors also please provide us with information on the intended review process they will undertake. See the general LSP reviewing guidelines and indicate which process you would prefer: https://userblogs.fu-berlin.de/langsci-press/2016/02/08/reviewing-of-edited-volumes
• Monographs: Proposals for monographs (including, e.g., Habilitation theses) should not exceed 3000 words (excluding bibliography). They should include (i) a title, (ii) a detailed table of contents, (iii) a description of the overall aims of the book, (iv) a summary of the chapters, and (v) main references. Please ensure that your proposal provides a clear outline to the research questions, key findings, and methods applied in the monograph.
• Dissertations: If your monograph is the revised version of a doctoral or postdoctoral thesis, please provide us with the reports (e.g., Gutachten) of the original version, as well as a comprehensive account of all the major modifications made to the thesis.
