Transactions of the Philological Society (TPhS)

PhilSoc's journal is called Transactions of the Philological Society (TPhS) (paper: ISSN 0079-1636; online: ISSN 1467-968X), and is edited by Andrew Linn and Paul Rowlett. It continues the earlier Proceedings (1852-53), and is the oldest scholarly journal devoted to the general study of language and languages that has an unbroken tradition.

Transactions continues to reflect the Society’s long-standing interest in comparative and historical linguistics in general and in Indo-European and the history of English in particular. It also reflects the Society’s broad range of interests and welcomes studies of all languages from the perspective of any of the various subdisciplines of descriptive and theoretical linguistics, including phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, pragmatics and sociolinguistics.

Since 2002 (vol. 100) Transactions has been published three times a year, now appearing in March, July and November, with one issue per year being thematic. It is published on behalf of PhilSoc by Blackwell Publishing Ltd and distributed to all PhilSoc members as part of their subscription package. Transactions is also available to non-members, and to institutions and libraries, through the publisher.

Transactions content can be accessed online, and table-of-contents email alerts can be requested, from Blackwell Synergy by clicking here. For access to a free sample issue, please click here.
