The

seeking

The subject

("conlangs"), and 
> other topics of special interest to language
creators.

The journal 
> will include both more formal academic papers and more
informal

should be of

interested in invented

engineered).

Academic papers,

unblinded refereeing and

Purely informal or subjective content will be subject to

only, and labeled differently. Informal or subjective topics

include humor, news, tips, reviews, editorials,

interesting work in progress, poetry, short fiction, conlang 
> sketches,
puzzles, etc.

Artwork is for use in full-page interstitials

article illustrations, and can be anything on the

creation. For the front cover, we particularly request art

theme/phrase "Fiat lingua!".

Linguists and language creators

referees, please contact us and let us
