Linguistik online has been founded in 1998 in order to facilitate access to the results of linguistic research. In times when the financial resources of libraries in Western Europe and many other parts of the world are continuously shrinking, and in some parts of Eastern Europe virtually non-existent, Linguistik online is free of charge and available to all interested. It covers a broad range of linguistic fields. Central areas of linguistic research are dealt with regularly, and less frequently discussed questions are the subject of special issues, where guest editors are always welcome.


Linguistik online deals with:

  • conversation analysis
  • history of language
  • language acquisition
  • linguistic history, theory and methods
  • morphology and syntax
  • pragmatics
  • semantics
  • sociolinguistics
