Brill's Handbooks in Linguistics series publishes comprehensive reference works on the language sciences. While works on all relevant fields are welcome, particular attention is paid to new and emerging fields, fields which do not yet have comprehensive reference works, and fields which do have such reference works but these are outdated. The series is currently being revamped, with several handbooks in the pipeline. Topics of upcoming volumes include Formosan Languages, Contrastive Pragmatics, and Cognitive Semantics.
