ILSIENNA – Our language
ILSIENNA – Our Language is the
brand-new peer-reviewed journal of the Għaqda Internazzjonali tal-Lingwistika Maltija
(GĦILM)/International Association of Maltese Linguistics. This long awaited
newcomer to the market of linguistic periodicals publishes scholarly articles and
reviews which are directly related to topics of Maltese Linguistics (including languages
other than Maltese which belong to the linguistic landscape of Malta).
ILSIENNA provides the first dedicated forum for specialists of Maltese
and linguists whose projects include Maltese and/or the languages of Malta to exchange
their ideas without having to take the detour via traditional Oriental Philology
or other disciplines. The activities of the new association GĦILM demonstrate
that Maltese has very much on offer for linguistics and thus deserves a journal
of its own which is reserved exclusively to Maltese and closely related matters.
The editorial and advisory boards host internationally renowned representatives
of Maltese Linguistics whose expertise and the regular peer-reviewing procedure
guarantee the publication of high quality material.
Linguists of all convictions are kindly invited to submit their manuscripts on Maltese
to ILSIENNA. The journal accepts contributions to all fields of interest
reaching from synchronic descriptive grammar (phonetics, phonology, morphology,
syntax, lexicon, etc.) via diachrony, sociolinguistics (including dialectology),
language contact to psycholinguistics, clinical linguistics, language planning,
translation studies and many more subject matters.
The journal comes in one issue of 120–160 pages per year. Each issue contains
four to eight scholarly articles and an additional reviews section. The sole language
of publication is English. Articles are accompanied by an abstract in English and
a Maltese translation thereof. The first issue of ILSIENNA is scheduled for first
quarter 2009. The annual subscription is € 25 (special price for members;
€ 30 for non-members). Not included in the subscription, there is also a companion
series entitled IL-LINGWA TAGĦNA – Our language
which appears in variable intervals.
