About

Anthropological Linguistics provides a forum for the full range of scholarly study of the languages and cultures of the peoples of the world, especially the native peoples of the Americas. Embracing the field of language and culture broadly defined, the journal includes articles and research reports addressing cultural, historical, and philological aspects of linguistic study, including analyses of texts and discourse; studies of semantic systems and cultural classifications; onomastic studies; ethnohistorical papers that draw significantly on linguistic data; studies of linguistic prehistory and genetic classification, both methodological and substantive; discussions and interpretations of archival material; edited historical documents; and contributions to the history of the field.

Manuscript Form. Manuscripts must be double-spaced throughout (including quotations, tables, references, and notes) with at least one inch margins on 8½" x 11" or A4 paper and printed on one side of the sheet only. All pages must be continuously paginated.

Text. Anthropological Linguistics follows The Chicago Manual of Style. For exemplification of all matters of style, authors should consult a recent issue of the journal. A style sheet is available on the journal’s website.

Abstract. Each article manuscript must have at its outset, immediately after the title and author’s name, an abstract no longer than 100 words summarizing the conceptual content of the article.

Citations. Citations in the text are indicated parenthetically. When an author’s name is mentioned in the text, dates and pages immediately follow the author’s name, e.g., Boas (1940:2—35). Otherwise, an author’s name, dates, and pages appear within parentheses, usually at the end of a sentence, e.g., (Boas 1940:2—35).

Notes. Explanatory notes appear at the end of the text, immediately preceding the list of references.

References. Complete references to all works cited in an article or review should appear in a bibliography at the end of the manuscript. This section, entitled References, should include only works cited in the manuscript. The style follows a modified version of that used in the American Anthropologist, listing publication dates indented under authors’ names, with titles and publication information blocked to the right of the date.

Libraries face a dilemma: the number of books, journals, and other information resources available to offer to their patrons is growing faster than their acquisitions budgets. Decisions about which new materials to add in a given year are influenced by a number of factors, not the least of which are whether they are aware of the existence of a resource and the value that resource would bring to those who rely on the library. Librarians often appreciate the input of users in gathering the information they need to make those evaluations. There is no one right way to share information about a particular journal with a library. Some institutions have formal procedures for submitting acquisition requests, others rely on regular communication between subject area librarians and the departments they serve, and some have no specifically defined method. You are in the best position to determine the most appropriate method for approaching your library with a request for the addition of a journal to its collection. However, we have developed a library recommendation form as one tool you can use to provide your library with relevant information. The form contains basic information about the journal: a description, its print and electronic ISSNs, frequency of publication, pricing, print and electronic options, and ordering information. It also includes a few questions for you to complete that address your evaluation of the journal's value. If you choose to use the form, fill it out then send it to the appropriate individual at your library. Do not return it to the University of Nebraska Press.
