The Journal of Semantics is dedicated to setting the standard in the field of semantics with its pursuit of excellence and rigorous academic approach. It not only focuses on traditional semantic theories but also emphasizes the use of formal and experimental methods to explore the meaning in language.

The journal encourages scholars to submit papers on core issues in semantics, including but not limited to the role of pragmatics in the construction of meaning in context, the interaction between syntactic structure and semantic content, the diversity of meaning expression in different languages, and experimental studies on the cognitive processing, acquisition, and neurolinguistic foundations of meaning. Additionally, the journal supports the application of semantic perspectives to the discussion of the philosophy of language, fostering a deeper understanding of the relationship between language, thought, and reality. Through these multifaceted and interdisciplinary studies, the journal contributes new perspectives and theoretical depth to the development of semantics.
