The Ancient World Online: Open Access Journal: Lingue antiche e moderne

[First posted in AWOL 24 November 2013, updated 20 November 2025]
Ancient and modern languages
ISSN: 2281-4841

The magazine Ancient and modern languages intends to create a privileged space for meeting and reflection for classical and modern linguists and philologists, in the spirit of collaboration and partnership between different cultural realities that characterizes the Association of graduates in Foreign Languages ​​and Literatures and the International Center on Plurilingualism of the University of Udine.
The reception of the classics is an interdisciplinary research sector that has found itself at the center of growing interest in the international academic debate in recent decades. The journal presents itself as a unique and original scientific initiative because it places the core of its interest on the specifically linguistic dimension. The contributions accepted by the magazine contribute to investigating, in an in-depth and updated way, the countless forms in which classical languages ​​are still essential and have been extremely vital and influential in the modern world, from humanism to classicism, also becoming fully modern languages. Particular attention is also dedicated to the teaching and learning of classical and contemporary languages, since in Europe Latin has always been the language of culture par excellence in schools and universities. More specifically, the journal focuses on how today’s linguistic theories influence and are influenced by the analysis of classical languages.
Thanks to its aims, its scope and its free online access, the journal represents a link between the academic world and that of school education and actively promotes the connection between scientific analysis and language teaching, theoretical and applied research.
