Use when positioning a Language (LSA) manuscript within the literature so it reads as in dialogue with current linguistics across frameworks. Language reviewers are drawn from across subfields; the positioning must engage the strongest rival accounts fairly, not build a subfield-only wall. Maps the conversation; it does not write the literature review.

# Literature Positioning (lang-literature-positioning)

At *Language* the literature section proves the paper is **in dialogue with current linguistics** —
across frameworks, not only inside your own. Because the journal is generalist and its editors recruit
**double-anonymous** reviewers from across subfields, your positioning is the signal they read to place
the paper and to match referees. A section that engages only your framework's in-group tells the editor
this belongs at a subfield venue. This skill maps the conversation and locates your contribution in it.

## When to trigger

- Drafting or restructuring the literature/positioning section
- A reader said the paper "ignores the obvious competing analysis" or "reinvents a known result"
- Writing a **Discussion Note** or **Perspectives Commentary** that must engage a specific published
  claim precisely and fairly
