Babel magazine is a popular language magazine which covers languages and linguistics for a non-specialist readership. Babel is published quarterly in February, May, August and November of each year.
We are currently seeking contributions for our 2017 issues. We publish articles on all linguistic disciplines and topics, the only requirement being that they make linguistic research accessible to non-expert readers. Articles are between 1,500 and 3,500 words in length.
We are also seeking contributions for our regular features:
- Ask a Linguist - a linguist answers a question from a Babel reader (500 words).
- Languages of the World - a profile of an obscure or interesting language (around 1,000 words).
- Lives in Language - a profile of an important (deceased!) linguist (around 1,000 words).
- Meet the Professionals - an interview with someone in a linguistics-related career (around 1,000 words).
- Pull-out poster - a visually appealing guide to an area of linguistics, with 1,000 words providing an explanation and discussion of problems (e.g. mapping of the world's languages).
Contributors' guidelines are available on our website -
