Studies in Language provides a forum for the discussion of issues in
contemporary linguistics from discourse-pragmatic, functional, and
typological perspectives. Areas of central concern are: discourse
grammar; syntactic, morphological and semantic universals; pragmatics;
grammaticalization and grammaticalization theory; and the description
of problems in individual languages from a discourse-pragmatic,
functional, and typological perspective. Special emphasis is placed on
works which contribute to the development of discourse-pragmatic,
functional, and typological theory and which explore the application
of empirical methodology to the analysis of grammar. Two special
book-series are affiliated to this well-established journal: Studies
in Language Companion Series under the editorship of Werner Abraham
and Michael Noonan, and Typological Studies in Language with T. Givon
as editor. As from Vol. 20. the number of issues has been increased to
3 with a total number of pages per volume of ca. 725.
