What it does

Journal Of Linguistics is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when targeting Journal of Linguistics (Cambridge University Press, for the Linguistics Association of Great Britain) or deciding whether a general theoretical-linguistics manuscript fits this framework-neutral venue. Encodes the journal's broad fit, the argument-and-data bar, framework-neutrality, house style, glossing and double-blind norms, official-submission re-check, and desk-reject heuristics.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.7k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

When your agent uses it

  • Targeting Journal of Linguistics (Cambridge University Press
  • For the Linguistics Association of Great Britain)
  • Deciding whether a general theoretical-linguistics manuscript fits this framework-neutral venue

Example prompts

  • “/journal-of-linguistics”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 932eb23. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Journal Of Linguistics loads about 1.7k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 107 tokens; SKILL.md has 725 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~107
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.7k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Journal of Linguistics (journal-of-linguistics)

Journal positioning

Journal of Linguistics, published by Cambridge University Press for the Linguistics Association of Great Britain, is a general theoretical-linguistics venue that is deliberately framework-neutral and open across subfields — phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, pragmatics, historical linguistics, and the philosophy and methodology of the field. Its defining expectation is a well-argued theoretical contribution intelligible to linguists of different persuasions: a clear problem, a careful analysis, and a result whose interest does not depend on prior commitment to one formalism. A narrowly framework-internal exercise, or a purely descriptive report with no theoretical pay-off, is a poor fit. This skill is a fit / venue-selection / re-framing aid. It does not replace the journal's current submission guidelines. Before submitting, re-check the live Journal of Linguistics author instructions, and defer all reporting specifics to the official page.

When to trigger

  • The author names Journal of Linguistics for a general theoretical-linguistics article and wants a fit/framing check.
  • A framework-specific analysis must be re-framed so its interest is legible across approaches.
  • The author is choosing between Journal of Linguistics and a single-framework or US-based generalist venue.
  • The author needs the journal's argument bar and desk-reject heuristics.

Scope & topic fit

  • Theoretical work in any core subfield, presented so non-adherents of the chosen framework can follow and assess it.
  • Comparative and typological linguistics where the analysis bears on general theory.
  • Historical and diachronic linguistics with a theoretical argument, not only a description.
  • Morphology, phonology, syntax, and semantics studies that engage broad questions of linguistic structure and explanation.
  • Methodological and foundational articles about how linguistic analysis should proceed.
  • Review articles that synthesize and critically advance a theoretical debate.

Method & evidence bar

  • The contribution is a clear theoretical argument whose interest is framework-neutral; the problem and the claimed advance are stated explicitly and early.
  • Empirical language data motivate and test the argument; linguistics is partly empirical, so examples, judgments, or corpus/experimental data must be adequate and representative — defer reporting specifics to the official guidance.
  • Cross-linguistic or otherwise representative evidence supports any claim of generality.
  • The analysis is internally consistent and falsifiable, with alternative accounts weighed on their merits rather than dismissed by allegiance.
  • Engagement with the literature spans relevant frameworks, situating the contribution fairly across approaches.
  • Data are transparent: numbered examples with morpheme-by-morpheme interlinear (Leipzig-style) glosses and translations where the language is not English.

Structure & house style

  • Full-length theoretical article with a sustained argument (and, where offered, review articles); re-check current length limits and article types on the live guide.
  • Citation follows the journal's current Cambridge author-date style with a reference list.
  • Double-blind review: anonymize the manuscript (self-citations and acknowledgements) per current policy.
  • Numbered examples with aligned interlinear glosses, translations, and sources, in the journal's format; IPA for phonetic transcription.
  • Tables, figures, and any formal notation meet the journal's specifications and are defined for a cross-framework readership.

Official-submission checklist

  • Before giving submission-ready advice, read ../../resources/source-basis.md and ../../resources/official-source-map.md; start from the CUP / LAGB anchors, then cite the current Journal of Linguistics page you checked.
  • Search the live site for "Journal of Linguistics instructions for authors" and follow the current Cambridge version.
  • Re-check article types (articles, review articles), length limits, and the abstract requirement.
  • Confirm the Cambridge citation style and anonymization for double-blind review.
  • Re-check the example/glossing format and figure/table specifications.
  • Re-check any data-availability, elicitation ethics, and AI-use/competing-interest disclosures.
  • If the live official instructions conflict with this skill, the official instructions win.

Pre-submission self-check

  • The theoretical contribution is legible and assessable across frameworks, not only to adherents.
  • The problem and claimed advance are stated explicitly and early.
  • Language data motivating the argument are adequate and representative.
  • Cross-linguistic or representative evidence supports any generality claimed.
  • Numbered examples carry Leipzig-style interlinear glosses and translations.
  • The manuscript is anonymized and follows the current Cambridge style.

Common desk-reject triggers

  • A framework-internal exercise whose interest collapses without prior allegiance.
  • A purely descriptive report with no theoretical argument or pay-off.
  • Alternative analyses dismissed by allegiance rather than weighed on the evidence, or generality claimed on thin, non-representative data.
  • Examples without proper interlinear glosses, translations, or sources.
  • Scope or significance too slight for a general theoretical readership.

Re-routing decision

  • Discipline-wide result, including experimental/sociolinguistic → language (LSA).
  • Generative syntax and its interfaces, or a short squib → linguistic-inquiry.
  • Theoretical syntax/morphology with deep cross-linguistic empirical grounding → natural-language-and-linguistic-theory.
  • Philosophy of language / foundations argued philosophically → the-philosophical-review (generically).
  • Broad theory-of-language framing in the humanities → critical-inquiry (generically).
