“Lenguaje” magazine

Lenguaje is an academic magazine. The volume I’m going to present is the volume 40 number 1 made in the first semester of 2012. During the year the magazine is published twice, one on June and the other on December, so the publication is half-yearly.  It is focus on any discipline dealing with language. It has an international scope so it is written in three different languages. However the most articles are in Spanish. The kinds of articles presented on the magazine are: scientific or Technologic Research articles, articles of reflection, Short articles, Reports of case, Review of topic, Translation and Bibliographical review. Lenguage has its own website which is http://revistalenguaje.univalle.edu.co/ and it is indexed don the web site of EBSCO, Publindex, and the data bases of the university library “Mario Carvajal” you can find it on “Academic one file.” The Editorial Committee is composed by several specialists not only from the university, but from other countries as well. The director of the magazine is Gladys Stella López J. from the Universidad Del Valle and there are linguists like Rocío del Pilar Nieves and Alexandra Álvarez Muro. The policies of peer-reviewing settle that information about authors, university or any element that can lead the reviewers to know what the origin of the text is must be withheld from the text in order to be of private knowledge.
