Series: Brill's Studies in the Indigenous Languages
of the Americas
An international forum for high-quality scholarly studies on the indigenous languages of South, Central and North America, including the Arctic. Around 1,000 genealogically and typologically very diverse languages are spoken in this immense region. Due to ecological and cultural pressure this treasure trove of languages is often highly endangered with extinction, hence the urgency of its preservation and study.
The publications in this series will concern both descriptive and analytical work on American indigenous languages, and include handbooks, language surveys, grammatical descriptions and theoretical, historical, areal and typological monographs or particularly well-organized edited volumes with a central theme. Even though the scope of the series is international, authors are encouraged to write in English to reach as large as possible a readership.

Series: The Endangered Languages Yearbook
As the importance of cultural diversity for the survival of humanity is increasingly acknowledged and the central role language plays in culture is understood, it has become vital to preserve the linguistic diversity of the world for future generations. The Endangered Languages Yearbook provides a forum for scholars to publish the results of research on endangered and minoritized languages. It is published in collaboration with the Foundation for Endangered Languages (FEL), which celebrated its 25th anniversary in 2021. FEL was set up to respond to the disappearance of the world’s languages, and collaborates with academics, communities, institutions, and organisations to support and assist the documentation, protection, and promotion of endangered languages.
Volumes of The Endangered Languages Yearbook consist of selected, peer-reviewed, and edited papers presented at the annual FEL conferences, as well as articles submitted by other authors on the relevant topic.

Faits de Langues
This journal aims to bring to the fore the diversity of the world’s languages and to present different viewpoints and frameworks within the field of linguistics (covering areas such as phonetics, morphology, syntax, lexicology, and sociolinguistics), viewed from various perspectives (such as typology, diachrony, language acquisition, epistemology, speech-language pathology, and cognition).
Faits de Langues gives high priority to the use of original empirical data and has no preference for any theoretical framework. Articles should be based on clearly defined research questions which are not theory-internal and therefore accessible to readers with different theoretical backgrounds.
The journal is published in two issues per year, consisting of one general issue and one special issue. The languages of the journal are English and French.

Journal of Language Contact
Focusing on the study of language contact, language use and language change in accordance with a view of language contact whereby both empirical data (the precise description of languages and how they are used) and the resulting theoretical elaborations (hence the statement and analysis of new problems) become the primary engines for advancing our understanding of the nature of language. This involves linguistic, anthropological, historical, and cognitive factors. Such an approach makes a major new contribution to understanding language change at a time when there is a notable increase of interest and activity in this field.
The Journal of Language Contact accepts articles in English and French.

Cahiers de Linguistique Asie Orientale
An established international journal whose mission is to publish new and original research on the analysis of languages of the East and Southeast Asian region, be they descriptive or theoretical. The journal seeks top-level contributions in any linguistic subdomain and in any theoretical framework with reference to a language or languages from the East and Southeast Asian region. Focusing at the same time on well-studied Asian languages, such as Chinese, Japanese, and Korean, and on those that are still partially or entirely undocumented, CLAO brings languages of the East and Southeast Asian region into a key position in current debate within linguistics and related fields.
CLAO is published in collaboration with the Centre for Linguistic Research on East Asian Languages (Centre de Recherches Linguistiques sur L´Asie Orientale – CRLAO).
