Information For Authors

Acta Semiotica et Linguistica (ASEL) is an international scientific journal that aims to promote exchange between professors and researchers in the humanities, interested in the problem of meaning and language - verbal, non-verbal and complex or syncretic. Founded by the Brazilian Society of Linguistics Teachers (Pais, 1977) today, it is being published by the Postgraduate Program in Letters of the Federal University of Paraíba-Brazil, more specifically by the line Semiotic Studies, which also serves scholars who use  sign langages and braille, a pioneering experience among us. It is intended to be an instrument that allows, at the same time, the dissemination of works by Brazilian specialists abroad and the best knowledge, in Brazil, of research carried out in other countries. Thus, it hopes to promote the fruitful cooperation of these scientists around common problems, methods and ideals. It accepts articles that defend different theoretical positions and express the thought of different currents, dealing with semiotic issues, both the sign, the text (literary or not) or the set of cultural facts and their manifestations in human societies. It preferably receives articles from doctors, or even from graduate students who have completed research under the guidance of a doctor. To better take advantage of the researchers' scientific production, we organize publications in three sections: articles (theoretical or analytical), translations (of foreign articles into Portuguese and vice versa) and interviews. The researcher can choose any of these sections to submit his work.
