The Association québécoise de linguistique (AQL - Quebec Linguistic Society) is an academic organization devoted to the scientific study of human language, and is a professional society for Francophone linguistic researchers in North America and beyond.
[1] The first executive was formed by Normand Beauchemin as president, Henri Wittmann as vice-president, and Robert Fournier as secretary-general.
[2] The official journal of the AQL is the Revue québécoise de linguistique théorique et appliquée (RQLTA), an academic journal which publishes peer-reviewed articles reporting research in all the major subdisciplines of linguistics, as well as book reviews and a variety of other communications.
RQLTA is the only North-American research journal in linguistics that publishes its articles exclusively in French.
[4] The AQL holds an annual linguistics conference every year on alternating campuses throughout Quebec and French Canada, usually in conjunction with ACFAS.
