Journal of Quantitative Linguistics

期刊简介：The Journal of Quantitative Linguistics is interested in work which systematically applies or develops mathematical and/or statistical concepts and methods to theoretical understanding of language phenomena. This covers the range of synchronic and diachronic subdomains of “theoretical” linguistics (phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics etc.) and “applied” linguistics (sociolinguistics, historical linguistics, cognitive linguistics, pragmatics, text analysis, quantitative stylistics etc.). The introduction of mathematical and statistical concepts and methods from the natural sciences, physics, and cognitive science is particularly encouraged. A particular focus is the further theoretical foundation and empirical analysis of linguistic laws as like Zipf’s, Menzerath-Altmann’s law, Piotrovskij law and others. Prospective authors are further advised that JQL is interested in work which systematically applies or develops mathematical and/or statistical concepts and methods to theoretical understanding of language phenomena. The use of such concepts and methods or their computational implementation on an ad hoc basis in a research paper does not in itself qualify that paper for publication in JQL. Work published in JQL is expected to advance theoretical understanding of any given language domain in mathematical and/or statistical terms. Simple application of existing theory to language data without substantive theoretical advancement is unlikely to be published in JQL. Peer Review Policy: All articles in this journal have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening and anonymized refereeing by at least two anonymous referees.

【译文】《定量语言学杂志》感兴趣的是系统地应用或开发数学和/或统计概念和方法来理论理解语言现象的工作。这涵盖了“理论”语言学（音系学、形态学、句法、语义学等）和“应用”语言学（社会语言学、历史语言学、认知语言学、语用学、文本分析、定量文体学等）的共时和历时子领域的范围。特别鼓励引入自然科学、物理学和认知科学中的数学和统计概念和方法。特别关注的是齐普夫定律、门泽拉特-阿尔特曼定律、皮奥特洛夫斯基定律等语言定律的进一步理论基础和实证分析。进一步建议未来的作者，JQL 对系统地应用或开发数学和/或统计概念和方法来理论理解语言现象的工作感兴趣。在研究论文中临时使用此类概念和方法或其计算实现本身并不意味着该论文有资格在 JQL 中发表。 JQL 中发表的工作有望促进对数学和/或统计术语中任何给定语言领域的理论理解。将现有理论简单地应用于语言数据而没有实质性的理论进展是不可能在 JQL 中发表的。同行评审政策：本期刊的所有文章都经过严格的同行评审，基于最初的编辑筛选和至少两名匿名审稿人的匿名审稿。
