Finnish Journal of Linguistics

Aims & Scope

Finnish Journal of Linguistics (FJL) is a refereed general linguistic journal published on an annual basis.

It contains previously unpublished, original articles, short essays or so-called "squibs" and book reviews.

FJL welcomes papers on all aspects of linguistic research.

Every article is refereed by at least two anonymous referees, after which the editors make the final decision of publication.

The languages of publication are English, French, German, Finnish, and Swedish.

Manuscripts may be submitted throughout the year, but the deadline for each year’s issue is 31 January (31 March for book reviews).

This is an open access journal, which means that all content is freely available without charge to the user or their institution.

Users are allowed to read, download, copy, distribute, print, search, or link to the full texts of the articles, or use them for any other lawful purpose, without asking prior permission from the publisher or the author, in accordance with the CC BY 4.0. licence.
