The Ghana Journal of Linguistics is a double-blind peer-reviewed scholarly journal
appearing twice a year (not including special issues), published by the Linguistics
Association of Ghana. Beginning with Volume 2 (2013) it is published as an open access
journal in electronic format only, at https://gjl.laghana.org and
https://www.ajol.info/index.php/gjl/. However, print-on-demand copies can be made
available on application to Mr. Fred Labi of Digibooks Ghana Ltd.:
fred.labi@digibookspublishing.com or +233246493842.
The Editors welcome papers on all aspects of linguistics. Articles submitted should be
original and should not have been published previously elsewhere.
The Editors welcome reports on research in progress and brief notices of research findings,
as well as news of general interest to linguists.
The Editors also welcome books from authors and publishers for review in the Ghana
Journal of Linguistics. They may be sent to Prof. Ọbádélé Kambon, Editor-in-Chief, Ghana
Journal of Linguistics, University of Ghana, P.O. Box LG 1149, Legon, Accra, Ghana.
These will be used in editorial book critiques. Anyone who wishes to review a particular
book is invited to contact the Editor-in-Chief. These will be considered for publication after
internal review.
As of January of 2016, GJL switched from an email-based article submission process to
the use of website-based Open Journal Systems (OJS) software, which allows tracking of
submissions, double-blind reviews, copyediting, production, and publication. We
encourage linguists and scholars interested in linguistics to visit GJL’s website
https://gjl.laghana.org to peruse past issues and to submit their articles.
To submit an article, the author must create an account at GJL’s website. Upon account
creation, the author should complete all required information including the author’s full
name in the form it should appear in print, plus his/her current academic or professional
position, his/her field of research interest(s) and a short bio statement. Please see the inside
back cover of this issue for detailed article submission guidelines.
