Use when targeting Journal of Linguistics (Cambridge University Press, for the Linguistics Association of Great Britain) or deciding whether a general theoretical-linguistics manuscript fits this framework-neutral venue. Encodes the journal's broad fit, the argument-and-data bar, framework-neutrality, house style, glossing and double-blind norms, official-submission re-check, and desk-reject heuristics.

# Journal of Linguistics (journal-of-linguistics) ## Journal positioning Journal of Linguistics, published by Cambridge University Press for the Linguistics Association of Great Britain, is a general theoretical-linguistics venue that is deliberately **framework-neutral** and open across subfields — phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, pragmatics, historical linguistics, and the philosophy and methodology of the field. Its defining expectation is a **well-argued theoretical contribution intelligible to linguists of different persuasions**: a clear problem, a careful analysis, and a result whose interest does not depend on prior commitment to one formalism. A narrowly framework-internal exercise, or a purely descriptive report with no theoretical pay-off, is a poor fit. This skill is a **fit / venue-selection / re-framing** aid. It does not replace the journal's current submission guidelines. Before submitting, re-check the live Journal of Linguistics author instructions, and defer all reporting specifics to the official page. ## When to trigger - The author names Journal of Linguistics for a general theoretical-linguistics article and wants a fit/framing check. - A framework-s

What does the journal-of-linguistics skill do?
Use when targeting Journal of Linguistics (Cambridge University Press, for the Linguistics Association of Great Britain) or deciding whether a general theoretical-linguistics manuscript fits this framework-neutral venue. Encodes the journal's broad fit, the argument-and-data bar, framework-neutrality, house style, glossing and double-blind norms, official-submission re-check, and desk-reject heuristics.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill journal-of-linguistics --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills, a repository with 909 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
