Contributions are welcome from linguists in all countries.
The language of publication is English. With the goal of being a platform for discussion in the field, the Journal of Portuguese Linguistics welcomes papers, book reviews, dissertations abstracts or letters to the editors in areas such as the European, Brazilian, and African varieties of Portuguese, Portuguese-based Creole languages, and language acquisition, variation, contact and change. The broadening of the journal's scope is reflected by the composition of the board of consulting editors. The journal is sponsored by the Department of General and Romance Linguistics of the Universidade de Lisboa and the Department of Linguistics of the Universidade Nova de Lisboa. We invite contributions to our first issue to be published in the Summer of 2001.
