A quarterly journal founded in 1959 to provide a forum for the full range of scholarly study of the languages and cultures of the peoples of the world, especially the native peoples of the Americas. Embracing the field of language and culture broadly defined, the editors welcome articles and research reports addressing cultural, historical, and philological aspects of linguistic study, including analyses of texts and discourse; studies of semantic systems and cultural classifications; onomastic studies; ethnohistorical papers that draw significantly on linguistic data; studies of linguistic prehistory and genetic classification, both methodological and substantive; discussions and interpretations of archival material; edited historical documents; and contributions to the history of the field.
Anthropological Linguistics (ISSN 0003-5483) (USPS 026980) is published quarterly by the Department of Anthropology and the American Indian Studies Research Institute at Indiana University, Bloomington, Indiana, USA.
