The Review of Cognitive Linguistics (published under the auspices of the Spanish Cognitive Linguistics Association) offers an international forum for the publication of original high-quality research from a cognitive perspective in all areas of linguistic conceptualization and communication.
Fruitful debate is encouraged with neighboring academic disciplines as well as with other approaches to language study, particularly functionally-oriented ones.
Volumes 1–7 (2003–2009) were published under the title Annual Review of Cognitive Linguistics.
RCL publishes its articles Online First.
As of volume 8 (2010) Review of Cognitive Linguistics is the continuation of the Annual Review of Cognitive Linguistics.
