The Editors of Token: A Journal of English Linguistics invite submissions of original research articles from researchers in English linguistics for Volume 22, to be published in 2028.

Token welcomes contributions to English linguistics broadly conceived, encompassing both synchronic and diachronic perspectives, including grammatical and lexical studies. Contributions in Applied Linguistics and Translation Studies are also welcome, provided that English is central to the research design, data, and theoretical discussion. The journal particularly encourages empirical research. Further information about its scope is available on the journal website.

Manuscripts should normally be between 5,000 and 8,000 words, with an abstract of approximately 150 words and 5 to 7 keywords.

At submission, reference lists should follow APA 7 (seventh edition). The reference layout shown in the journal’s style sheet reflects the final typesetting by Jan Kochanowski University Press and does not need to be reproduced by authors. For other requirements, please follow the journal’s style sheet and submission guidelines.

Please submit manuscripts as both Word and PDF files to token.journal@ujk.edu.pl by 1 March 2028. Manuscripts should not contain the authors’ names or affiliations. Authors’ names, affiliations, ORCID identifiers, and email and postal addresses should be provided in the covering email.

Submissions must be original, previously unpublished, and not under consideration elsewhere. Articles undergo double-blind peer review by two independent reviewers. Token is an open-access journal published by Jan Kochanowski University Press, and no publication fees are charged. See the journal’s publication ethics statement for further details.

Token also welcomes proposals for guest-edited thematic volumes or sections within a volume. Prospective guest editors should contact the Editors at token.journal@ujk.edu.pl with a brief outline of the proposed topic and a preliminary table of contents, including contributors’ names and affiliations. Publication arrangements and deadlines will be agreed with the Editors. All contributions are subject to the journal’s usual peer-review procedures.

We welcome contributions that advance understanding of the English language through original analysis and engagement with current scholarship.
