*******************************************
NAL is a major forum for linguists working in the Nordic countries, and linguists elsewhere, working on a Nordic language, or in general linguistics.
Two series of international conferences are organized under the auspices of NAL: The Scandinavian Conference of Linguistics and the International Conference on Nordic and General Linguistics, the latter series traditionally with an emphasis on Nordic languages.
In addition, the Association publishes the Nordic Journal of Linguistic (NJL) with Cambridge University Press, and it covers all branches of linguistics but gives preference to contributions of general and methodological interest and studies on Nordic languages. Traditionally one of the issues of NJL every year is a thematic issue dedicated to a specific aspect of linguistics.
The Nordic Journal of Linguistics is published on behalf of NAL, to a very high standard, by Cambridge University Press. Many scholars interested in Nordic languages enjoy institutional access to current NJL articles through their university library; however, NAL members additionally benefit from the journal’s rich archive, stretching back to 1978, and independent scholars will find access to both current and archive NJL material particularly beneficial.
