The Journal of the Portuguese Linguistics Association (RAPL) publishes work in the area of Linguistics, resulting from fundamental and applied research in Linguistics, as well as in areas at the interface between Linguistics and other sciences. RAPL publishes selected papers from oral presentations and posters presented at the National Meetings of this Association (ENAPL), which take place annually. Papers resulting from work that has not been presented at the ENAPL are not accepted. Published articles are submitted to a peer review process (single-blind). All articles are published in Open Access, without publication fees.
