Aims & Scope

Meta is an international scholarly journal that publishes research articles in translation, terminology, and interpreting. The journal publishes two regular issues and one special issue per volume, with ten to twelve articles per issue. Three languages are accepted: French, English, and Spanish. In some special issues devoted to particular language-cultures, other languages, such as German and Turkish, have also been accepted. Meta 's primary audience is researchers, but it welcomes all of those who are interested in the linguistic phenomena that make up intercultural communication.
