LINGUA ÆGYPTIA (recommended abbreviation: LingÆg) publishes articles and book reviews on all aspects of Egyptian and Coptic language and literature in the narrower sense: (a) grammar, including graphemics, phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, pragmatics, lexicography; (b) Egyptian language history, including norms, diachrony, dialectology, typology; (c) comparative linguistics, including Afroasiatic contacts, loan- words; (d) theory and history of Egyptian literarure and literary discourse; (e) history of Egyptological linguistics. We also welcome contributions on other aspects of Egyptology and neighboring disciplines, in so far as they relate to the journal's scope. Contributors are entitled to twenty offprints.

Periodically, the journal is also put at colleagues' disposal for a forum in which an important or neglected topic of Egyptian linguistics is treated at some length: in this case, a scholar who is active in this particular area will be invited to write a conceptual paper, and others will be asked to comment on it. The main author will then receive five, the other contributors two copies of the special issue of LingAeg.

Short articles on grammar and lexicon (max. two pages) will be published in the section "Miscellanies". For these, there will be no separate offprints. Contributions in the form of a hard copy and a diskette (when possible) should be sent to Göttingen. The decision whether to publish a manuscript is taken by the editors in agreement with the advisory board.
