Folia Linguistica is an international academic journal in linguistics focused on publishing empirically based language research papers. The journal covers a wide range of linguistic fields, including but not limited to phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, pragmatics, sociolinguistics, and psycholinguistics. It places special emphasis on in-depth analysis and empirical research of linguistic phenomena, and is committed to advancing the theoretical and practical development of linguistics.

The journal welcomes linguists from a variety of theoretical backgrounds to submit their research, whether traditional or emerging theoretical frameworks. This openness allows the journal to cover the diversity and complexity of linguistic research while facilitating exchange and dialogue between different theoretical perspectives. In particular, the editorial team stressed that the submitted papers should be widely readable and understandable, that is, the arguments should be clear, logically rigorous, and able to be understood and accepted by linguists with different theoretical backgrounds.
