The editorial policy of the journal is based on two principles:

The first is the preference for authentic data and usage-based linguistics. This preference is manifested in particular by the attention given to corpora (existing large corpora or corpora created for the needs of the study). The articles may deal with phonetic and phonological, morpho-syntactic, lexical, pragmatic and stylistic phenomena, from a theoretical perspective as well as from the point of view of applied linguistics. The Board of Editor pays attention to the link that must be established between systemic linguistic phenomena and their use in specific discourse contexts. We also welcome contributions taking discourse phenomena as empirical base for a dialogue between linguistics and other disciplines (literature, history, political science, philosophy, sociology, psychology, etc.).

The second guiding thread of our editorial policy is linguistic diversity. This holds both for the languages of publication and for the languages investigated in the contributions. Contrastive and more generally cross-linguistic, comparative articles are particularly welcome. We accept articles in Arabic, Chinese, English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Polish, Russian, Spanish and Ukrainian.
