Nordic Journal of Linguistics


The Nordic Journal of Linguistics is a peer-reviewed academic journal concerned with all branches of linguistics, but paying particular attention to theoretical linguistics and languages used in the Nordic countries. It was established in 1978 by Even Hovdhaugen and is published by Cambridge University Press for the Nordic Association of Linguists. Earlier, it was published by Universitetsforlaget and afterwards Taylor & Francis. It is also supported by the Nordic Publication Committee for Periodicals in the Humanities.
The first editor in chief was Hovdhaugen. From 2001 to 2015, the editors in chief were Catherine O. Ringen and Sten Vikner. From 2015, the editors were Gunnar Ólafur Hansson, Marit Julien and Matti Miestamo. As of 2025, the editors in chief are Ilmari Ivaska, Kari Kinn and Sara Myrberg.
Three issues are published each year, one of them devoted to a special topic.
