About the Journal
The Journal of Semantics publishes articles, notes, discussions, and book reviews in the area of academic research into the semantics of natural language. It is explicitly interdisciplinary, in that it aims at an integration of philosophical, psychological, and linguistic semantics as well as semantic work done in logic, artificial intelligence, and anthropology.
Contributions must be of good quality (to be judged by at least two referees) and must report original research relating to questions of comprehension and interpretation of sentences, texts, or discourse in natural language. The editors welcome not only papers that cross traditional discipline boundaries, but also more specialized contributions, provided they are accessible to and interesting for a general readership in the field of natural language semantics. Empirical relevance, sound theoretic foundation, and formal as well as methodological correctness by currently accepted academic standards are the central criteria of acceptance for publication. It is also required of contributions published in the Journal that they link up with currently relevant discussions in the field of natural language semantics.
