About the Journal

Focus and Scope

The journal continues a long tradition of linguistic studies at the University of Florence. The Florentine school of Linguistics is the result of a scientific heritage that goes back to the historical-comparative and philological disciplines cultivated in the Royal Institute of Higher Studies of Florence. Its original wealth of interests and wide range of research have inspired Florentine linguistics and contributed to shaping different lines of research over time, always oriented to enhance the study of natural languages and their use.
The journal publishes contributions concerning the analysis of the various aspects of language, with specific reference to the following thematic areas:

• Analyses and models of natural languages. The structure of natural languages and the analysis and description of linguistic systems: linguistic models and the methodological bases of linguistic research. Linguistic subsystems: phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax, lexicon, semantics, pragmatics, also with reference to specific linguistic areas.
• The linguistic continuum. Historical linguistics: analyses and theories of linguistic change and the historical evolution of languages: models and methodological basis of reconstruction. Linguistic typology and classification of languages.
• Languages and texts. The analysis and interpretation of texts in modern and ancient languages, with particular attention to textual genres and specialist languages. The literary text; the stylistic levels of language in their sociocultural context of production and fruition. Stylistic, discourse and pragmatic analysis.
• Psycholinguistics, neurolinguistics and language education. Language acquisition and linguistic disorders. Second languages and Italian as L2. Aphasias, linguistic deficits.
• Linguistic education. Language teaching. Language policies.
• Linguistic communication: its processes and working. Social semiotics. Mass communication: concepts and models.
• Gender studies in language.
