Become a Contributor to the Linguistic Bibliography

 

The editorial team is looking for specialists who would like to contribute to the Linguistic Bibliography by gathering and compiling bibliographical references in their field of expertise. If you are interested in joining the Linguistic Bibliography, please contact the editors via lb@brill.com.

The Linguistic Bibliography, published in annual print volumes and online, is a collection of detailed bibliographical descriptions of linguistic publications on general and language-specific theoretical linguistics. While the bibliography aims to cover all languages of the world, particular attention is given to the inclusion of publications on endangered and lesser-studied languages. Publications in any language are collected, analyzed and annotated (using a state-of-the-art system of subject and language keywords) by an international team of linguists and contributors from all over the world.
