About Linguisless

A Journal of Linguistics, Probably

Linguisless is an independent journal dedicated to the study of language in all its forms.

We publish work related to linguistics, communication, symbols, discourse, interaction, media, translation, memes, AI-generated language, internet culture, and other phenomena that emerge whenever humans (or machines) attempt to mean something.

Founded in 2026, Linguisless is indexed by the Web of Nothing and currently maintains an impact factor best described as “developing.”

We welcome serious research, questionable methodology, speculative inquiry, accidental breakthroughs, and papers that should probably not exist but somehow do.

Editorial Board

Small enough for efficient communication.
Large enough for internal disagreement.

Aims & Scope

Linguisless welcomes submissions exploring language, discourse, communication, annotation practices, interpretive overreach, and the increasingly fragile boundary between rigorous scholarship and opening twenty-seven ELAN files simultaneously.

We particularly encourage:

  • statistically sophisticated analyses of culturally insignificant phenomena
  • corpus studies based on alarmingly specific datasets
  • papers containing at least one diagram nobody can fully explain anymore
  • multimodal analyses involving arrows, circles, and theoretical confidence
  • NLP papers whose model architecture occupies more pages than the literature review
  • discourse analyses of platforms that may not exist by the time the article is published
  • interdisciplinary work likely to cause mild discomfort to at least one reviewer

We accept empirical studies, theoretical discussions, methodological reflections, pilot studies, negative results, and papers written entirely out of spite toward Reviewer #2.

Submissions should ideally be:

  1. technically sound,
  2. conceptually ambitious,
  3. and at least slightly unnecessary.
