About Concentric: Studies in Linguistics

Concentric: Studies in Linguistics, one of the leading journals in Taiwan, is devoted to the dissemination of research related to linguistics and applied linguistics. First published in 1964 under the title, The Concentric, the journal aimed to promote academic research in the fields of linguistics and English literature, and to provide an avenue for researchers to share results of their investigations with other researchers and practitioners.
