Sign Language Studies is a peer-reviewed academic journal covering basic and applied research relating to sign languages used throughout the world founded by American linguist William Stokoe. It covers linguistic, cultural, and educational topics. Gallaudet University professor emerita Ceil Lucas is currently the journal's editor.[1]

History

Sign Language Studies was founded by Gallaudet University professor William Stokoe, with first issue being printed in 1972.[1] The journal was initially published with the support of Thomas Sebeok through Mouton and Company and Indiana University (1973-1975). At that time the new journal was published quarterly by Stokoe's self-started publishing company, Linstok Press, in Silver Spring, Maryland.[2] Stokoe chose to number the issues consecutively since its inception. Linstok Press continued as the journal's publisher until the winter of 1996, and the last issue printed by Linstok was number 93.[3]

In the fall of 2000, following Stokoe's death, Gallaudet University Press took over publication of Sign Language Studies. The journal's numbering was restarted, and the first issue printed by the Press was numbered as Volume 1, Issue 1. David F. Armstrong, who had served on the editorial board since 1986, became the new editor of the journal. Armstrong served as editor until 2009. Gallaudet University linguistics professor Ceil Lucas took over the position of editor after Armstrong's departure.[1] Despite her retirement from the university in 2013, Lucas has continued as editor of the journal. The forthcoming issue, Volume 18, Issue 4, will be printed in Summer 2018.
