Since creole languages draw their properties from both their substrate and superstrate sources, the typological classification of creoles has long been a major issue for creolists, typologists, and linguists in general.
The Linguist offers its readers a wide range of articles that are of interest to anyone and everyone working with languages. It features job ads for linguists, as well as an IT column on websites that are of interest or relevant to professional linguists. It also includes popular regular sections such as lists of IoL events, book reviews, a section on opinion and comment as well as news items.
No matter what your field is, The Linguist is informative, incisive, relevant and thus a must for every linguist.
