Cuadernos de Lingüística de El Colegio de México is an open-access electronic peer-reviewed journal, published twice yearly (January-June and July-December). Its aim is to disseminate current linguistic research about any language and from different theoretical approaches. We thus seek for the papers published to advance our understanding of natural languages, either from a theoretical or from a purely descriptive point of view. Our target audience are researchers, professors and students specialized in linguistics.
