About the Journal

Zeitschrift für Wortbildung / Journal of Word Formation (ZWJW) is an open access and double-blind peer-reviewed international journal.

ZWJW publishes papers on word formation regarding any language and linguistic field, e.g. morphology, syntax, lexicology, phonology, semantics, pragmatics, language history, typology, dialectology, language acquisition, and language contact. Theoretical, empirical and methodological contributions are equally welcome, provided they deal with word formation phenomena.

The journal is published online and releases two issues a year. It contains original papers and optionally reviews as well as general information such as announcements of conferences, meetings, workshops, etc. Special issues devoted to important topics in word formation are published occasionally.
