Aims & Scope

The focus of S&P is on papers that include new results of interest to those working in semantics and pragmatics, and that demonstrate clear significance for theoretical development of those areas. As a rule of thumb, if your paper does not engage with works published in the leading journals in semantics ( Linguistics & Philosophy , Natural Language Semantics , Journal of Semantics , and S&P itself) and/or work in the proceedings of the major semantics conferences (SALT, Amsterdam Colloquium, Sinn und Bedeutung), it is unlikely that we will judge it to be in our scope.
