Fiat Lingua, the upcoming Journal of the Language Creation Society, is seeking papers and articles for publication, artwork, and referees. The subject of the journal is language creation, constructed languages ("conlangs"), and other topics of special interest to language creators. The journal will include both more formal academic papers and more informal contributions. All contributions, academic and nonacademic, should be of interest and value to a readership of people primarily interested in invented languages (artistic, auxiliary, and/or engineered).
Academic papers, or papers with objective content, will be subject to unblinded refereeing and to copyediting. Purely informal or subjective content will be subject to copyediting only, and labeled differently. Informal or subjective topics can include humor, news, tips, reviews, editorials, interviews, interesting work in progress, poetry, short fiction, conlang sketches, puzzles, etc. Artwork is for use in full-page interstitials and quarter-page/sidebar article illustrations, and can be anything on the theme of language creation. For the front cover, we particularly request art on the theme/phrase "Fiat lingua!".
Linguists and language creators interested in helping the journal as referees, please contact us and let us know your background, area(s) of expertise/interest, and availability.
Frequency: Annual, ramping up to quarterly
Format: print journal + PDF with online supplements where appropriate (e.g. for audio)
Cost: TBD. PDF subscription included in LCS membership. Free abstracts and selected excerpts available online.
Article length: 1-10 pages
Original content (i.e. not publicly available elsewhere) preferred, but interesting reprints accepted, especially if significantly updated or expanded. Please forward this CFP to any people or lists you think would be interested, and feel free to contact us with any questions or comments.
