Aims and scope

Token focuses on English linguistics in a broad sense, taking in both diachronic and synchronic work, grammatical as well as lexical studies. The journal also welcomes contributions from Applied Linguistics and Translation Studies, provided that English is central to the research design, data, and theoretical discussion. That being said, the journal favors empirical research.

Submissions are first assessed by the editors for scope and suitability. Those selected for external review are evaluated by two independent reviewers through a double-blind process.
Token is the original medium of publication for all articles that the journal prints.
