“國(guó)際美國(guó)語(yǔ)言學(xué)雜志”致力于記錄和分析美洲土著語(yǔ)言。IJAL由Franz Boas和Pliny Earle Goddard于1917年創(chuàng)立，是基于現(xiàn)場(chǎng)工作和北美和南美語(yǔ)言檔案材料研究的重要資料庫(kù)。出現(xiàn)在IJAL中的文章可能源于對(duì)語(yǔ)言的一般描述性工作，但通常側(cè)重于語(yǔ)言學(xué)的一個(gè)子學(xué)科 - 語(yǔ)音學(xué)，語(yǔ)音學(xué)，形態(tài)學(xué)，語(yǔ)法或語(yǔ)義學(xué)中分析的語(yǔ)言的各個(gè)方面。我們還鼓勵(lì)社會(huì)語(yǔ)言學(xué)，人類學(xué)語(yǔ)言學(xué)和歷史語(yǔ)言學(xué)以及區(qū)域和類型學(xué)研究領(lǐng)域的提交。文章可以從任何理論的角度撰寫，只要作者提供原創(chuàng)的，有爭(zhēng)議的，清晰呈現(xiàn)的分析，并且該論文包含了對(duì)該語(yǔ)言的文獻(xiàn)記錄有價(jià)值的實(shí)質(zhì)性經(jīng)驗(yàn)數(shù)據(jù)。論文可以用英語(yǔ)或西班牙語(yǔ)提交。

The International Journal of American Linguistics is dedicated to the documentation and analysis of the indigenous languages of the Americas. Founded by Franz Boas and Pliny Earle Goddard in 1917, IJAL is an important repository for research based on field work and archival materials on the languages of North and South America.Articles appearing in IJAL may result from general descriptive work on a language, but typically focus on aspects of the language analyzed within one of the sub-disciplines of linguistics—phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax, or semantics. We also encourage submissions in the areas of sociolinguistics, anthropological linguistics, and historical linguistics, as well as 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. Papers may be submitted in either English or Spanish.
