Recommendations for Peer Reviewed Journal of Chinese Linguistics

As per title. Google search looked all Greek to me.

Looking for a best of, not hardcore linguistics. Layman here.

My (Taiwanese) bro-in-law’s degree and field of study is Chinese Linguistics, I could ask him, but any such journal would be hifalutin’ stuff, as would any journal of linguistics for any language, and likely written in pretty high level Chinese as well. Hardly something a layman would find useful. What are you trying to do with it…? :thinking:

My kid is studying hifalutin’ Chinese linguistics.

I’d appreciate it if you did ask your brother in law. Thanks!

He says there’s a number of them, but they generally fall into one of three categories:

  • historical
  • modern usage
  • teaching (content, materials, techniques etc)

Can the area of interest can be narrowed down a bit to one of those?

That’s not his specialty, but he asked a friend and they’ve recommended Concentric: Studies in Linguistics

HTH!
