Overview
Slovene Linguistic Studies (Slovenski jezik) is a scholarly journal devoted to the Slovene language and linguistics. It is jointly published by the Fran Ramovš Institute of the Slovenian Language at the Research Centre of the Slovenian Academy of Sciences and Arts (ZRC SAZU) in Ljubljana and by Brigham Young University (BYU) in Provo, Utah, USA. The journal publishes scientific and technical articles on Slovene that are of interest to Slovene studies and to linguistics more broadly. Its international character aims to connect Slovene scholars worldwide, disseminate new linguistic findings, theories, and research results, and facilitate the exchange of ideas within the Slovene studies community. It is intended for researchers, students of the humanities, and anyone engaged with Slovene or language in general. The journal carries both a print ISSN (1408-2616) and an online ISSN (1581-1271). It is supported by ZRC SAZU and the Slovenian Research and Innovation Agency (ARIS). The editorial and publishing operations are hosted at BYU, with the journal's website maintained at sjsls.byu.edu. The name 'Slovenski jezik' is also associated with an earlier, distinct journal of the same title published between 1938 and 1941 by the Slavistic Society of Slovenia in Ljubljana, edited by Anton Bajec, Mirko Rupel, Janez Logar, Jakob Šolar, and France Tomšič. That historical publication featured articles by Slovene linguists of the time as well as reviews of Slovene studies books and textbooks. The current Slovene Linguistic Studies continues the tradition of scholarly publishing on the Slovene language while adapting to modern international academic standards.
