Linguistic Typology

Description:

---

Following the founding of the Association for Linguistic Typology (ALT) in 1994, the launching of the journal Linguistic Typology under the auspices of ALT is another sign that typology is internationally consolidating its position. Linguistic Typology aims to distinguish itself as a forum for the typological community, catering to its special professional needs. In particular, these concern the empirical dimensions of the typological enterprise and the ensuing demands to coordinate research and keep track of a profusion of data and results. Therefore Linguistic Typology will specifically encourage informed dialogue and the proper recording of past and present achievements.
