The LAGB is the leading professional association for academic linguists in Great Britain, and welcomes new members. Its scope includes all branches of linguistics - formal or functional; theoretical or descriptive; synchronic or diachronic; social or psychological (or neither); concerned with one language or many. Its members individually favour a wide range of different theories of language structure, and all theoretical persuasions are welcome.

The Journal of Linguistics (Cambridge University Press) is the journal of the LAGB and offered to members at a very low subscription rate. [ Read more about benefits of membership ]
