In 2009 it superseded the Society's Conference Proceedings published by Arizona State University. Devoted to a region of extraordinary linguistic diversity, JSEALS features papers on the languages of Southeast Asia, including Austroasiatic, Austronesian, Hmong-Mien, Tibeto-Burman and Tai-Kadai. JSEALS welcomes contributions written in English that deal with general and applied linguistic issues (as opposed to cultural or anthropological topics) which further the lively debate that characterizes the annual SEALS conferences since 1991. JSEALS articles are published continuously online, with each year's papers constituting a single volume. Between 2009 and 2016 it was maintained by Asia-Pacific Linguistics Open Access (formerly Pacific Linguistics) (pacling.anu.edu.au) and archived by ANU Open Research (openresearch.anu.edu.au) to be hosted at www.uhpress.hawaii.edu. Published articles are indexed by Scopus.application/pdfhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/Southeast Asian Linguistics SocietyCC-BY-SA 4.0 license
