This scientific journal was born in 2015 as part of a collaboration agreement between the Centre International de Phonétique Appliquée (CIPA) and the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB). It’s a yearly scientific journal published jointly by both institutions. It intends to disseminate unpublished research on French language and Francophone cultures as well as on the other Romance languages. In addition to its issues of varied content, thematic numbers on specific cross-curricular subjects concerned with the linguistics of language and of speech, languages in contact, literary and cultural dimensions, philology, translation theory and lexicography are published.
