Aims & Scope

The Journal of Historical Syntax (JHS) presents theoretically-informed papers dealing with any aspect of historical syntax, whether diachronic change or the synchronic description of historical language states. Papers that combine philological expertise with insights from linguistic theory are particularly welcome, though no particular theory or framework will be given precedence. Alongside full-length articles, squibs of up to 3,000 words and book reviews will also be solicited. Contributors should not feel restricted by the traditional limitations of print journals. The use of hyperlinks is encouraged and appendices submitted alongside the manuscript may include analysed data or corpus query files, with no limit on length within reason.
