Aims & Scope
Syntax publishes a wide range of articles on the syntax of natural languages and closely related fields.
The journal promotes work on formal syntactic theory and theoretically-oriented descriptive work on particular languages and comparative grammar.
Syntax also publishes research on the interfaces between syntax and related fields such as semantics, morphology, and phonology, as well as theoretical and experimental studies in sentence processing, language acquisition, and other areas of psycholinguistics that bear on syntactic theories.
In addition to full length research articles, Syntax features short articles which facilitate a fast review process. 'In the few years of its existence, Syntax quickly became one of the most prominent journals in the field, and unique as a source for high-quality studies at the forefront of research, combining theoretical inquiry and often significant innovation with outstanding descriptive and experimental work.
It is indispensable for researchers in the areas it covers.' Noam Chomsky, Massachusets Institute of Technology, USA
