The flagship journal of the LSA, ''[[Language (journal)|Language]]'', is ranked as one of the top journals in the field.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.timeshighereducation.com/news/top-journals-in-linguistics/413923.article |title=Top journals in Linguistics| date=21 October 2010 | publisher=Times Higher Education}}</ref> The journal is almost as old as the society itself. First published in March 1925 and edited by [[George Bolling|George Melville Bolling]], [[Aurelio Espinosa]], and [[Edward Sapir]], the journal published its 92nd volume in 2016 under the editorship of [[Gregory Carlson]].<ref>{{cite book|jstor=409543|title=Language|publisher=Linguistic Society of America|year=1925|volume=1|number=1}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=Language|publisher=ProjectMUSE|url=https://muse.jhu.edu/journals/language/|access-date=15 January 2016}}</ref> Dr. Carlson's successor, Andries Coetzee, was elected editor of language in 2016 and assumed office in 2017 for a term of seven years. The journal is [[delayed open access]], allowing articles to be published open access after a year, or immediately for a fee.<ref>{{cite web|title=Why the editors of a top linguistic journal resigned en masse.|first=Scott |last=Jaschik|date=5 November 2015|url=http://www.slate.com/articles/life/inside_higher_ed/2015/11/lingua_editors_and_editorial_board_quit_the_journal_citing_lack_of_access.html|access-date=15 January 2016|publisher=Slate}}</ref>

In 2018, the LSA launched a second "sister" journal to Language, titled ''[[Phonological Data and Analysis]]''. A call for submissions was issued at that time, and the first article was published in June 2019.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.linguisticsociety.org/news/2019/06/13/phonological-data-and-analysis-debuts-first-article-0|title=Phonological Data & Analysis Publishes First Article {{!}} Linguistic Society of America|website=www.linguisticsociety.org|access-date=2019-09-14}}</ref>

The LSA publishes a series of conference proceedings, including: Semantics and Linguistic Theory (SALT), The Annual Meetings in Phonology (AMP), the Berkeley Linguistic Society (through volume 45), and Proceedings of the LSA (formerly Extended Abstracts). All are fully open access publications.
