Dedicated to the documentation and analysis of the indigenous languages of the Americas. Publishes research on the languages of North and South America, focusing on aspects of language analyzed within subdisciplines of linguistics such as phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax, or semantics. Encourages submissions in sociolinguistics, anthropological linguistics, historical linguistics, areal and typological studies. Articles may be written from any theoretical perspective, as long as the author offers an original, well-argued, and clearly-presented analysis, and the paper incorporates substantial empirical data that will be of value for the documentary record of the language.
