It may take up to 2 business days for your submission to be posted to The LINGUIST List mailing lists, website, and social media accounts.
Delays may occur if:
The submission does not adhere to our posting guidelines. In this case, we usually do not notify the submitter, as these posts most often come from outside the discipline.
The submission contains obvious errors, e.g., a broken URL. In that case we will contact the submitter and request a correction.

Jobs
How much does it cost to announce a Job on The LINGUIST List?
It costs 250 USD to post a job announcement on The LINGUIST List.
Only one job may be announced per posting. Multiple positions must be advertised in separate postings.
Messages announcing Internships or Support (e.g., fellowships or other student stipends) can be posted for free under those categories.
Can I apply for a job through the LINGUIST List?
No, LINGUIST List does not offer application services.
My advertising agency/company submits job announcements on behalf of another organization. Where do I put my information so that I receive the invoice?
Your information should be entered into the payer information box and the employer’s information should be placed in the submitter information box.
Note: the submitter information is publicly visible and the payer information is not.
What should be included in a Job announcement?
A direct link to the job application, if available. Otherwise, the email address for applications.
The documents an applicant should submit (resume, transcript, etc).
The location and specialties: on the LINGUIST website, job announcements can be retrieved by linguistic subfield and location. Thus announcements should include:
Up to five (5) job specialties
Only five linguistic subfields can be listed for a single posting.
If you are seeking an applicant with more than 5 specialties, select General Linguistics.
The job location
Only one location may be listed, although you may mention others in the job description.
If you are seeking multiple people for multiple locations, then you must initiate a posting for each location.
You may post jobs that are fully remote.
How do I pay for my job post?
On the job submissions page you will have the opportunity to pay by credit card (via PayPal) or you can request an invoice for US wire transfer.
Publications
Who can post publication announcements?
Most publication announcements are posted by Supporting Publishers, which pay an annual fee in order to announce books and journal tables of content (TOCs); their books are also made available for review on LINGUIST List
Can an individual post a book announcement or TOC on the LINGUIST List?
Yes, an author or editor may pay a one-time fee of 100 USD to post a single book announcement or journal TOC to The LINGUIST List.
This fee may be waived for not-for-profit and diamond open-access publications.
Are calls for journal special issues posted as TOCs?
No, calls for submissions to journals are posted as FYIs, not TOCs.
Conferences/Conference Calls
How many times can I announce my Conference or post a Conference Call?
Each Call for Papers can be posted 3 times.
If you have more calls for papers available, the option “Add Call for Papers” will appear next to your conference name on our Conference submission page.
How do I extend the deadline of my conference call?
If your conference still has a call for papers left, you can submit a new call for papers with the updated deadline. You can also make other revisions to the conference when you submit the new call for papers.
If all of your Calls have been used, you can email [email protected] to have the current conference page updated manually. Manual updates to existing announcements will appear on the website but are not re-posted to the mailing list.
How should I correct a typo in my conference or call for papers submission?
If a typo was made in your conference submission, please send an email to [email protected] with the typo and the replacement text and we will gladly update it for you.
Be sure to specify the name of your conference and the submission id in the subject header of your submission receipt email to expedite the update.
How do I submit a call for papers that does not coincide with a conference?
Calls for papers for a discussion forum, journal issue, etc., should be submitted as FYIs.
