Natural Language Semantics (NLS) is a quarterly peer-reviewed academic journal covering formal semantics and its interfaces in grammar, especially in syntax. The journal features mainly research papers as well as some short essays. It is considered one of the top four journals in formal semantics, alongside Linguistics and Philosophy, the Journal of Semantics, and Semantics and Pragmatics.[1]

## History

[edit]

NLS was founded in 1993 by Irene Heim and Angelika Kratzer, who served as its first editors-in-chief. It was founded in order to provide a venue for research that integrates formal semantics with other branches of linguistics, in contrast to previously established journals that emphasized connections to logic and philosophy of language.[2][3]

## Reception

[edit]

NLS grew to be the central venue for the then-emerging study of crosslinguistic variation and typology within formal semantics.[4] The journal played a crucial role in establishing formal semantics as a core area within theoretical linguistics.[2][3]

According to the Journal Citation Reports, the journal has a 2022 impact factor of 1.1.[5]
