Gender Linguistics

Gender Linguistics is an Open Access journal owned and controlled by the linguistic community, with no financial barriers to publishing for authors.
The journal is administered by the Association for Diversity in Linguistics, div-ling e.V.

Aims and scope

The journal is dedicated to different linguistic perspectives on the intersection and interplay of language and gender. It publishes contributions from all areas of linguistics, provided they contain insights into the relations of language and gender in its broadest sense. No specific linguistic approaches or theories are given preference. Papers accepted for publication are strictly selected on the basis of scientific quality. Authors are asked to make a voluntary author contribution only if they have access to institutional funding or grants for this specific purpose.

The journal was founded in 2025 by the Association for Diversity in Linguistics, div-ling e.V, and friends from the linguistic community. It is run on funds of div-ling e.V. and voluntary author contributions.

Please note: The journal is currently under development and will be launched in August 2025.
