***Announcement of New Journal and Call for Papers***

The JOURNAL OF PORTUGUESE LINGUISTICS is a new journal concerned with all
branches of linguistics. It aims at publishing high-quality papers in the
field of Portuguese linguistics, including the comparison between any
varieties of Portuguese and any other language(s). 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.
