Natural Language Semantics is a quarterly peer-reviewed academic journal covering formal semantics and its interfaces in grammar. Its current editor-in-chief is Amy Rose Deal and it is published by Springer Science+Business Media.[1] It is one of top four journals in formal semantics, alongside Linguistics and Philosophy, the Journal of Semantics, and Semantics and Pragmatics.[2] Work published in the journal has been described as displaying "the same standards of lucidity and originality that mark its [founders] own thinking and writing".[3]
The journal was founded in 1993 by Irene Heim and Angelika Kratzer, who served as its first editors-in-chief. It was founded in order to provide a venue for research that integrates formal semantics with other branches of linguistics, in contrast to previously established journals that emphasized connections to logic and philosophy of language.[4][3] In particular, NLS grew to be the central venue for the then-emerging study of crosslinguistic variation and typology within formal semantics.[5] The journal played a crucial role in establishing formal semantics as a core area within theoretical linguistics.[4][3]
