Asian Languages and Linguistics aims to enhance high-quality research on the description and theoretical analysis of languages throughout Asia. The journal encourages submissions from a wide range of topics, including but not limited to the following:

• Theoretical research on the syntax, semantics, phonology, morphology, and pragmatics of any Asian language, and the interface studies such as syntax-semantics interface and morphology-phonology interface.

• Typological research based on empirical data or theoretical analysis (following any framework) on the structural diversities and cross-linguistic variations among Asian languages or between Asian languages and other languages.

• Diachronic research based on a careful investigation of Asian languages data that contribute to the theory or methodology of historical linguistics, as well as interdisciplinary study which links historical linguistics to corpus-based research, language variation, typology, etc.

• Cross-disciplinary research between linguistics and philosophy, psychology, language processing, etc. that contributes to the understanding of Asian languages. Contributions from a comparative or typological perspective are especially welcome.

      《亚洲语言与语言学》旨在介绍对亚洲语言进行描写与理论分析的高质量研究，涉及主题广泛，包括但不限于：

      1）对任何亚洲语言句法、语义、音系、词法和语用的理论研究，以及相关交互和接口研究，如句法-语义接口和句法-形态接口等。

      2）对于亚洲各语言之间，或亚洲语言与其他语言之间结构多样性和跨语言变异的类型学研究。研究需为基于实际语料的研究或（遵循任何框架的）理论研究。

      3）基于历史语言学理论方法，对亚洲语言事实进行详细分析的历时性研究，以及将历史语言学与语料库、语言变异和类型学结合起来的跨领域研究。

      4）有助于理解亚洲语言的跨学科研究，如语言学与哲学、心理学、语言处理等领域的交叉研究。尤其欢迎跨语言比较以及类型学视角下的研究成果。
