University of Toronto Press Acquires Linguistics List from Equinox Publishing

University of Toronto Press (UTP), Canada's largest university press and leading academic publisher, has acquired the linguistics catalogue of Equinox Publishing, an independent academic publisher based in the UK, well-known and respected for their international authors and audiences in both books and journals. As UTP continues to grow its global lists, this acquisition marks the first from a UK-based publisher. 

 The acquisition includes over twenty journals and several hundred book titles, for the academic, course and trade markets. In addition to books and articles on language acquisition and professional practice, the newly acquired list takes a systemic functional approach, an increasingly relevant means of understanding language and its social function. The catalogue broadens UTP's collection and complements its offerings in anthropology, education, literature and Indigenous studies.

"As one of our core subjects since Equinox Publishing's formation, we take great pride in the linguistics list we have developed and are delighted it will now be part of UTP's extensive and respected academic offerings," says Janet Joyce, Founder and Managing Director of Equinox Publishing. "Sharing in our commitment to global scholarship, we know the acquired journals and titles are in the best of hands with UTP and look forward to the works reaching new audiences."

"Equinox Publishing has curated an exceptional linguistics list, and we are grateful to Janet and her team for entrusting us with its next chapter," says Antonia Pop, Vice President, Publishing Division at UTP. "As a global publisher, we pride ourselves on offering readers a robust catalogue. With this acquisition, we look forward to extending our commitment to excellence in the field of linguistics, and to welcoming such an esteemed group of international authors to our program."

Publishing landmark scholarship since 1901, UTP is committed to connecting ideas for a better world and furthering the democracy of readership and access. To learn more about UTP's strategic objectives, visit: https://utorontopress.com/strategic-plan-2023-2026/.
