'''''Natural Language Semantics (NLS)''''' is a quarterly [[peer-reviewed]] [[academic journal]] covering [[formal semantics (natural language)|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]].<ref name="StanfordEncyclopediaOfPhilosophy">{{Citation|last1=Janssen|first1=Theo|last2=Zimmermann|first2=Ede|title=Montague semantics|date=2021|url=https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/montague-semantics/|encyclopedia=The Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy|editor-last=Zalta|editor-first=Edward N.|edition=Summer 2021|publisher=Metaphysics Research Lab, Stanford University|access-date=2024-08-07|quote=The most important journals in the field are Linguistics and Philosophy, the Journal of Semantics, Natural Language Semantics, and Semantics and Pragmatics}}</ref> <br />
<br />
== History ==<br />
''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]].<ref name="parteebaltic">{{cite journal |last1=Partee |first1=Barbara |author-link=Barbara Partee |year=2011 |title=Formal semantics: Origins, issues, early impact. |journal=The Baltic International Yearbook of Cognition, Logic and Communication |volume=6 |citeseerx=10.1.1.826.5720}}</ref><ref name="biographicalnotes">{{cite encyclopedia |year=2014 |title=Introduction |encyclopedia=The Art and Craft of Semantics: A Festschrift for Irene Heim |publisher=MIT |location=Cambridge, MA |url=https://semanticsarchive.net/Archive/jZiNmM4N/CrnicPesetskySauerland.pdf |editor1-last=Crnič |editor1-first=Luka |isbn=9781502857477 |last2=Pesetsky |first2=David |last3=Sauerland |first3=Uli |editor2-last=Sauerland |editor2-first=Uli |last1=Crnič |first1=Luka |author2-link=David Pesetsky}}</ref><br />
<br />
== Reception ==<br />
''NLS'' grew to be the central venue for the then-emerging study of crosslinguistic variation and typology within formal semantics.<ref>{{cite web |last=Cable |first=Seth |year=2021 |title=The "Remote Past", "Recent Past", and "Current Past" of Cross-Linguistic Formal Semantic Research |url=https://bpb-us-w2.wpmucdn.com/web.sas.upenn.edu/dist/3/495/files/2017/11/Cable.pdf |journal=Franklin Institute Symposium: The Past, Present and Future of Formal Semantics}}</ref> The journal played a crucial role in establishing formal semantics as a core area within theoretical linguistics.<ref name="parteebaltic" /><ref name="biographicalnotes" /><br />
<br />
According to the ''[[Journal Citation Reports]]'', the journal has a 2022 [[impact factor]] of 1.1.<ref name="WoS">{{cite book |title=2022 Journal Citation Reports |title-link=Journal Citation Reports |publisher=[[Clarivate]] |year=2023 |edition=Social Sciences |chapter=Natural Language Semantics |via=[[Web of Science]]}}</ref><br />
