The most prestigious journals for general theoretical linguistics are probably Language, Linguistic Inquiry, and maybe Glossa after the editorial pushback against Lingua about a decade ago for its opposition to open research availability (so you’re right that linguists often name their more prestigious journals after words for “tongue”!)

Either way, my first year paper’s analysis would be immediately obvious to any syntactician, and definitely doesn’t belong in a journal.

I appreciate the compliment though. :)
