About the Journal
Revista Iberoamericana de Lingüística (RIL) is an academic journal founded in 2006 by Professor Ricardo de la Fuente Ballesteros of the University of Valladolid, with the aim of creating a space for critical reflection on language and communication studies in their theoretical, practical, historical, and applied dimensions. The journal is currently published by the Asociación Pandora de Estudios Feministas y Pensamiento Contemporáneo (NIF G16756496), a Spanish organization that promotes critical reflection, situated thinking, and knowledge from an interdisciplinary perspective.
The journal focuses on the study of communicative phenomena from pragmatic, discourse-oriented, and philological perspectives, addressing both the conceptual foundations and the social and cultural uses of language. Its areas of interest include, among others, the following fields:
- Pragmatics and discourse analysis.
- Verbal and media communication.
- Philological and historical studies of language.
- Rhetoric, argumentation, and communication theory.
- Applied linguistics and interdisciplinary language studies.
The Revista Iberoamericana de Lingüística promotes original research that demonstrates methodological rigor, conceptual clarity, and significant contributions to scientific knowledge in the fields of communication and linguistic studies.
The journal publishes original articles that have not been previously published and that undergo external double-blind peer review. It aims to establish itself as a leading academic forum in the Hispanic and international scholarly community.
