The Journal of Chinese Linguistics (JCL) is an international academic journal that integrates general linguistics with Chinese linguistics, employing rigorous scientific research methods and using English and Chinese as its primary languages of communication. Published triannually, JCL primarily features articles in English while also including select high-quality Chinese articles. As the first journal in the Western world dedicated to Chinese linguistics and the first linguistics journal in Asia indexed in the SSCI, JCL has been included in major indexes such as SSCI, A&HCI, and Scopus, establishing itself as a globally influential academic journal in Chinese linguistics.
The Journal of Chinese Linguistics disseminates research through two publications: the Journal of Chinese Linguistics (JCL) and the JCL Monograph Series. Its scope encompasses general linguistics, including phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax, grammar, semantics, and pragmatics, as well as interdisciplinary studies such as applied linguistics, historical linguistics, computational linguistics, psycholinguistics, sociolinguistics, and neurolinguistics.
Founded in 1973 by Mr. William Shi-Yuan. Wang at the University of California, Berkeley, JCL has been led by Professors Shengli Feng and Tsai-Yen Yeh as co-editors since January 2019. In June 2023, Professor Jie Xu succeeded Professor Yeh as co-editor. Since 2019, JCL has operated a Beijing Editorial Office at BLCU’s Zhang-Huang Academic Theory Institute, collaborating with the original Hong Kong Editorial Office (now the Hong Kong Liaison Office) at The Chinese University of Hong Kong. In 2023, a Macao Editorial Office was established at the University of Macao. Today, mainland Chinese scholars constitute one of JCL’s primary author groups, and the journal has subscribers in over half of the world’s countries.
