In this blog post, I provide a list of places where you can publish a monograph on formal/theoretical/generative syntax. The results are listed alphabetically by series title (instead of by publisher name, since sometimes a single publisher has two series). In each case, I try to provide (a) the series title, (b) the publisher, (c) the editors names and e-mail addresses, (d) a URL and (e) a short description (taken from the website).
Cambridge Studies in Linguistics
Cambridge University Press
The Cambridge Studies in Linguistics series aims to publish works of scholarship that make a substantive contribution to general, theoretical, and descriptive linguistics. Many volumes are of interest across a broad range of the disciplines, while others address a specialized particular topic, language or language area.
Current Studies in Linguistics
MIT Press
Jay Keyser, general editor (keyser@mit.edu)
Linguistic Inquiry Monographs
MIT Press
Jay Keyser, general editor (keyser@mit.edu)
Linguistik Aktuell/Linguistics Today
John Benjamins
Elly van Gelderen (ellyvangelderen@asu.edu)
Linguistik Aktuell/Linguistics Today (LA) provides a platform for original monograph studies into synchronic and diachronic linguistics. Studies in LA confront empirical and theoretical problems as these are currently discussed in syntax, semantics, morphology, phonology, and systematic pragmatics with the aim to establish robust empirical generalizations within a universalistic perspective.
Linguistische Arbeiten
De Gruyter
Over the past few decades, the book series Linguistische Arbeiten [Linguistic Studies], comprising over 500 volumes, has made a significant contribution to the development of linguistic theory both in Germany and internationally. The series will continue to deliver new impulses for research and maintain the central insight of linguistics that progress can only be made in acquiring new knowledge about human languages both synchronically and diachronically by closely combining empirical and theoretical analyses. To this end, we invite submission of high-quality linguistic studies from all the central areas of general linguistics and the linguistics of individual languages which address topical questions, discuss new data and advance the development of linguistic theory.
Open Generative Syntax
Language Science Press
Syntactic theory is a vibrant and central area of current linguistic research. The series provides a venue for reporting exciting research on any topic that advances our understanding of the syntactic component of the human language faculty from a broadly generative perspective. Volumes accepted for the series may vary widely in format, ambition, perspective, and subject matter. The series is open to studies focusing on topics in comparative syntax, formal syntax, and interfaces with syntax. A contribution to the series might report, for example, discoveries about the syntax of a particular language or language family, proposals concerning the formal properties of the syntactic component as a whole, typological questions advancing theories of syntax, experimental investigations that bear on issues of importance to the overall theory of syntax, and more. What unites the series is a commitment to the development of syntactic theory and a constructive engagement with current substantive debates in the field.
Oxford Studies in Theoretical Linguistics
Oxford University Press
David Adger (d.j.adger@qmul.ac.uk)
Hagit Borer (h.borer@qmul.ac.uk)
This series focuses on the interactions between components of the human grammatical system. It covers interfaces between core components of grammar as well as how they are acquired and deployed, including language acquisition, language dysfunction, and language processing. It is open to work by linguists of all theoretical persuasions. Authors are urged to write so as to be understood by those in related subfields of linguistics and cognate disciplines.
Oxford Studies in Comparative Syntax
Oxford University Press
Richard Kayne (richard.kayne@nyu.edu)
The books in this series offer accounts of syntactic structures across multiple languages. Close cross-linguistic comparison is used as a tool to unearth properties of the language faculty that might otherwise have been difficult to bring to the fore. Explaining why a property found in language A is not found in language B often sheds light on the syntax of both languages. The series is closely associated with the cartographic approach to language, in which linguists map and compare the syntactic and semantic/pragmatic properties of different languages, considering how what is thus revealed impinges on broader questions related to the Minimalist Program and other recent theoretical developments.
Studies in Generative Grammar [SGG]
De Gruyter Mouton
Norbert Corver (N.F.M.Corver@uu.nl)
Harry van der Hulst (harry.van.der.hulst@uconn.edu)
The architecture of the human language faculty has been one of the main foci of the linguistic research of the last half century. This branch of linguistics, broadly known as Generative Grammar, is concerned with the formulation of explanatory formal accounts of linguistic phenomena with the ulterior goal of gaining insight into the properties of the 'language organ'. The series comprises high quality monographs and collected volumes that address such issues. The topics in this series range from phonology to semantics, from syntax to information structure, from mathematical linguistics to studies of the lexicon.
Studies in Natural Language and Linguistic Theory
Springer
Liliane Haegeman (Liliane.Haegeman@ugent.be)
Maria Polinsky (polinsky@umd.edu)
Studies in Natural Language & Linguistic Theory provides a forum for the discussion of theoretical research that pays close attention to natural language data, offering a channel of communication between researchers of a variety of points of view. Like its associated journal Natural Language & Linguistic Theory, the series actively seeks to bridge the gap between descriptive work and work of a highly theoretical, less empirically oriented nature. The series editors invite proposals for monographs and edited volumes.
