Introduction and Scope

Journal of Chinese Linguistics (JCL) is a peer reviewed academic journal published biannually. Established in 1973, JCL explores Chinese languages and linguistics in the light of human complexity. The journal covers a wide range of areas of research including phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, pragmatics, applied linguistics, historical linguistics, computational linguistics, psycholinguistics, sociolinguistics, neurolinguistics, evolutionary linguistics and any other recognized facet of Chinese linguistics study. The JCL publishing office operated at the University of California at Berkeley, USA, from 1973 to 2007. It was relocated to The Chinese University of Hong Kong in 2008, and expanded its presence in China with the opening of a new office in Beijing Language and Culture University in 2019. On August 7, 2023, the Macao editorial office of the Journal was officially launched and the Chinese University of Hong Kong editorial office was restructured to a liaison office.

Journal of Chinese Linguistics also publishes monograph series. Please refer to the JCL Monograph Series (JCLMS) page for more details.
